Give That Man A Beer! Aaaaaahhhh! A night out with the boys?
Make merriment, throw in a bottle or
two, have that tequila pop with the accompaniment of great music. Sounds like
fun doesn't it? Especially so when Christmas and New Year is just round the
corner. But do you know what that beer or tequila is doing to you and your hard
gained muscles?

Alcohol, hic, is one of the world's oldest drug. Yes, it is a drug. It has
many effects on the body, some good, but mostly harmful and bad. It supposedly
helps you to relax and make you light headed which to many people is source of
enjoyment. It may even have some beneficial effects, such as blood thinning
action. That is why some tout it as good to have a glass of wine now and then.
Alcohol is nervous system depressant, causing the brain to relax and
inhibitions to decrease. That is why many alcoholics get into trouble because
they could not control their behaviour when intoxicated. Muscle co-ordination
is impaired. Thoughts are incoherent and so gibberish is spewed and slurred.
Over intoxication can even cause coma and death. Every year tens of thousands
of people die from alcohol poisoning. That is how harmful alcohol can be. Click
here to quit drinking today!
Negative effects of alcohol on your muscles
Alcohol is especially harmful to bodybuilders since it prevents muscle
recovery and protein synthesis. It dehydrates you and again that is bad for
your muscles and not to say your nutrient intake is impaired.
However, not to take the fun out of those of you who imbibe in
alcohol, an occassional alcoholic drink not consumed excessively is a nice way
to relax and socialize. I know. I do indulge in alcohol now and then. But if
you are a teetotaler, perhaps it is better for you to stay that way.
Alcohol is water soluble and is metabolized
primarily by the liver. That means that your liver is taking the brunt of the
poison and that is why so many alcoholics suffer from liver diseases. My dad
passed on with just one of those diseases. Liver cancer.

You get fuzzy woozy and talk in circles incoherently and your memory lapses so
much that you may not even remember what you said or did in the drunken
stupor. In the meantime, brain cells are destroyed! You become stupid. Really.
Duh?
Even a small amount of alcohol will have an instant effect on your
ability to control your emotions and judgment. Since you are unable to command
these faculties, a larger amount of alcohol will make you lose control of your
good sense and violent and emotional outbursts may follow. Think of drunken
brawls or being a little more adventurous with the other sex that will put you
behind bars or in a hospital emergency ward.
Since it is also a depressant, sometimes it can get you so depressed
that your emotion is so much affected until you may collapse crying or
emotionally inconsolable which again may lead to some actions of which you may
regret. Don't live with embarrassments all your life.
Over time, if sufficient amount of alcohol is consumed, some brain
receptors become accustomed to a certain amount of alcohol and more is
required to get the same depressing and intoxicating effect. That means you
build up tolerance and need to drink more to get the same "high" which means
more poison you will be drinking and more money gone down the urinal as
expensive urine.
At this stage, you may have become an alcoholic and may experience
imaginary anxiety, tremors and hallucinations when you are not drinking. You
may then get over intoxicated and death may be a consequence of the over
indulgence.
Ok...I shall not scare you drinkers out there anymore because I am now
going terrify you! Alcohol is particularly detrimental for people who love
sports. Performance, recovery and rebuilding of your muscle cells are all

not burn anything else. As such, your meals of fat and carbs which will then
be converted to body fat as they are not used up for energy. To make matters

hangover? Caused dehydration - a cause for wrinkles, dry skin, thick yellowish
smelly urine. Your aerobic capacity decreased and so you are constantly out of

hormones much needed for your muscles to grow. Vitamins and minerals will not
be absorbed effectively meaning you will be short of essential nutrients and
