I vote for “Temple” during the week - “Amusement Park” on the weekend.
I like to refer to my body as a temple… One of those pagan messed up ones where anything goes
That reminds me… Please return these ASAP, or, buy your own.
ouch
er, what I meant to say is - what, no strawberry?[/quote]
You have to special order the strawberry, so it’s more expensive. I doubt that you can tell the difference in a blind-feel test.
I’m seeing a trend where perfectly good discusions about the wonders of booze turn into threads about fisting…not that theres anything wrong with that.

"Alcohol acts directly on cell membranes and intracellular metabolism. It serves as a preferred metabolic fuel and depending on the frequency and amount consumed, alcohol can suppress the utilization of fat.
Alcohol provides 7 calories per gram. So you’re getting a lot of empty calories that just are not used for building muscle mass. These calories can promote fat storage as well as reduce your consumption of high-quality, high- protein nutrients essential for building muscle mass.
For those reasons, if you’re trying to shed fat and get cut, you should greatly limit your consumption of alcohol.
Not only that, when you drink, there are hormonal changes that occur within your body that could have a direct impact on building muscle mass. One is the reduction of testosterone in your blood and another is the increased conversion of testosterone to estrogen – resulting in the elevation of estrogen that leads to increased fat depositing, gynecomastia, and fluid retention.
Over the short term, alcohol acts as a diuretic and it can impair protein synthesis as well as your immune function.
Another negative effect alcohol has on building muscle is that it can deplete minerals that are critical to muscle growth. This includes the depletion of magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Alcohol also depresses the central nervous system, impairing strength and mental capacities. It can bring on mood swings and other behavioral problems that go way beyond the realm of gaining muscle."

Interesting. Your first post is of medical/scientific info while it should have been in the “got TILF” thread in SAMA
I frequently like to do deadlifts and military presses, then do inetrval running for about 4 miles on Saturdays.
After that I like to have about 5 coors Lights, then about 3 pints of Guinness.
It just feels manly.

A good reason to not drink when you are aiming to gain LMM. (Lean muscle mass acronym? o.O)
