    Those are good physiological reasons, however psychological reasons are just as important. Large quantities of alcohol creates a great deal of stress, lowering testosterone. Energy levels are decreased by a great deal, cardiovascular performance is decreased, and I'm sure many other things all have a counterproductive effect on getting BIG! :D

    Sure, too many drinks are bad for you, but modern research indicates a u-shaped curve for total benefits of alcohol. In other words, 1 drink is better than none for your health, while 3+ is worse than none.

    What the man says is true. Two drinks (either two shots of liquor, two beers, or two glasses of [preferably red] wine) tend to increase "good cholesterol" (HDL) and decrease "bad cholesterol" (LDL), while decreasing total cholesterol and, to some extent, triglycerides. That's two drinks daily for men, and one drink daily for women. Drinking in excess of that amount is bad for your health in a variety of ways (such as increasing your risk of esophageal, bladder and liver cancer, increasing your risk of alcoholic cirrhosis, and other bad things) and elevating LDL levels and total cholesterol levels, while lowering HDL levels (that's the "good cholesterol") and greatly elevating triglyceride levels. This is common knowledge and is in no way to be construed as medical advice. You should always discuss these factors with your physician before acting on them. Salut! --george sowerby, m.d.

    Although I knew all this stuff it doesnt hurt to be reminded every now and then....this a nice lens. a suggestion of mine would be to add some more informational and useful content ....there are of people (and some of them consider themselves athletes) drinking much much more than they should be...maybe this lens could help them stay away from the bottles

    Not to mention it is rather hard to train and stick to a decent diet whilst you are nursing a killer hang over!

    Good lens. What's strange is that I've never seen fat alcoholics :D. Most of them are quite skiny

    Wow what a great lens! If anyone is looking to chat about exercise, working out, health, fitness, or anything else, these fitness forums ?, are my favorite. It's absolutely one of the best websites if you are looking to track food, plan meals, build workouts, and count calories!

    Great lens, it's sad how alcohol effects so many aspects of our lives, but if you can at all follow a fitness plan you will be surprised how the rest of your life feels better too,

    My two cents anyways

    Excellent recommendations. I would emphasize though the importance of proper hydration. A technique I was taught about a year ago is to drink six glasses of water (it's difficult when you are starting!) first thing in the morning. Then wait about 45 minutes or an hour (while you are getting ready) to eat or drink anything else. Then continue drinking clean pure water the rest of the day as normal. This technique stimulates all the internal organs and brings them rapidly to prime condition. You will feel the difference in a few days. Also another tip is to take ice cold showers. It will feel you with super energy and also make you sleep better at night.

    Good lens as it focuses on facts rather than judgements about the character of one who uses (or abuses) alcohol.
