How many of members never drink alchool?

[trotten]

I was thinking in the bads effects of alchool bevareges to a 100% dedicated athlete. I myself drink alchool max 1-2 times a year. Then I was in doubt, who of them that takes alchool frequently can keep all the gains and dont have trouble with bbing?
Tanks, Trotten.

The body will not be able to effectively build muscle if alcohol is present on a regular basis. Muscles are 98% water, and alcohol is a diuretic. Plus, your other organs are no longer working effectively because they are dehydrated as well. No one can call themselves dedicated to bodybuilding if they are drinking more than 1-2x/month. This is off-cycle of course.

i am a muslim الحمدلله so i NEVER drink alcohol...

i avoid it on the basis that it is forbidden for me explicitly in my religion and i do not care even about the so-called "benefits" of alcohol either because that has already been covered in the qur'aan where it says (translation) "FORBIDDEN for you are all intoxicants EVEN THOUGH THERE MAY BE BENEFIT IN SOME OF THEM".

Just thought i would share this with you since you asked and may be interested...

i'm new to this forum, and i don't use steroids but have just been researching about them. i haven't been doing bodybuilding for long enough to justify starting to use steroids, but since i did enough research to feel sure that they are no more dangerous than eating a lot of eggs (due to the LDL cholestrol) or a lot of meat (due to fat) as long as they are cycled correctly and a good PCT is used i feel that it may be an option for me in the future when i have learned enough to know what i am doing!

Also, it's good to know that they aren't intoxicants and any alcohol that may be used in the manufacturing of them is disolved or evaorated off during the process of manufacture!

Some people report euphoric feelings from ABUSE of certain types of steroids, but not all of them have this effect and they don't cloud one's mind. Also, this is, as i said, a result of ABUSE and not usage in the correct manner that a medical expert would recommend to somebody thinking about using them!

* Sorry about the size and boldness of my post, but i did this so it's easily readable. The other posts here were hurting my eyes a bit and they don't stand out well from other text on the page, so i made my text size 4 and bold!

I'm curious, makiwara, if something becomes medically necessary but is an intoxicant can it be used? For example, if you suffered serious trauma could you use painkillers (for pain)?

I am a catholic but have nothing but respect for other religions, and I feel that when we learn about each others faiths it helps to erase the ignorance that leads to so many problems in our world.

Tanks, Trotten.

A person who is serious about life itself or about anything in general would not even drink a droplet of alcohol EVER if he/she had common sense, ESPECIALLY due to religious reasons and also due to sports professions/hobbies.
Alcohol's disadvantages and negatives FAR outweigh any benefits it may have!

I have a couple of glasses of wine everynight with no ill affects other than my abs aren't as visable as they once were. At my age I really don't give a shit. It doesn't affect my ability to lift heavy weight. Other than that I drink nothing but water all day so dehydration is not a problem. Alcohol, like anything else, should never be abused but in moderation it helps me relax after working, then driving and coming home to my whack job wife.

Now see, I think this is creative thinking, a loophole in the qur'aan perhaps. Just because the alcohol used in processing evaporates (probably not all) does not change the fact that alcohol was used in its manufacture. If alcohol is evil then anything created by or with it should be concidered evil too. But then again, I'm not trying to convince my god that I'm not using alcohol, even if its just a tiny bit.

Burn a blunt!! There is noone who has ever proven there is any harm in THC, the only thing they can say is the smoke contains carbon monoxide, but there are other ways of injesting, you can cook with it and you can use a vaporizer...

There is no hangover, plus you get the munchies
