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 affected. What's worse, its effects can linger on
for days. With its effect still affecting you, you will :-

body fat easily - Your body burn alcohol for energy first and do 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
