I have no idea. I spent 5.5 years in college and was a heavy drinker.
I stayed in good shape and grew bigger and stronger during college.
Maybe If I hadn’t had so much beer, whiskey and unknown coctails I would be even stronger and bigger now, and I probably would have finished closer to four years than six.
But I wouldn’t take many of those nights back for anything.
The downtime days with nothing to do but pop a top and get shit canned maybe.
But the parties where events seemed to be stranger than fiction at times and some of the hilarious scenarios alcohol (and weed, and occasionally coke) put my buddies and I in, classic. Well worth it.
word. i dont think you should obsess over bodybuilding to the point where you lose out on fun, alcohol-induced memories. [/quote]
Yep, if I had a desire to go pro, I would re-assess a shit load of things but I don’t.
I like getting stronger and being in great shape. I do like the attention my muscles get too, I won’t lie.
But, I can get stronger, be in shape and have attention grabbing muscles while enjoying life.
When I see people who have no chance to go pro or any desire to do so, but attempt to make the same sacrifices, I have to laugh. Fucking clowns.
OP, if you are in college, lifting because you enjoy and to impress the ladies, you will be fine binge drinking. Just don’t start skipping gym days. Or class. I would change that. I once had a professor fail me because I only showed up for tests. I made a B considering grades but failed because of an attendance policy I didn’t attend class to receive. Fucking bullshit.
Enjoy college for the really long party it is.
