Alcohol is the real enemy of all bodybuilders, as drinking alcohol makes it easy to get distracted from your training program and your healthy eating lifestyle. Most people like to have a few drinks at the weekend and it is hard to say no, especially if going out with the lads is one of your favourite pastimes.
The problem with this is that drinking alcohol will make you put on weight, as it has a high calorie content, it will also inhibit your ability to put on and build muscle mass. The thing you need to realise though is that you don't have to give up your fun lifestyle; you just need to be more responsible and disciplined with regards what you put into your body. Trade in your pint of ale for a bottle of water, or sugar free drink.
Alcohol is Bad�
You need to think of your body as a machine that you need to keep well oiled. By putting alcohol (or junk food) into your body you are clogging up your machine and reducing it's effectiveness to run properly. Alcohol has no real nutritional value and contains a lot of calories which have no benefit to you or your body. It is easy to consume in excess of a thousand calories in just a few drinks.
If you are serious about getting a ripped, lean body then you seriously need to give the booze the boot. As it doesn't matter how healthy you eat in the day if you go and drink a days worth of calories in liquid form on a night out. Plus alcohol actually slows down your metabolism, which will help you grow a beer belly, and seriously limits your muscle growth and fat loss efforts.
The Final Straw�
I'm sure you've had a hangover, I absolutely hate them and they put me off drinking along time ago. The problem with hangovers is that they ruin the whole of your next day, they wreck your schedule, they destroy your motivation to do any work never mind get down the gym and train. Even if it's your rest day, it's likely you'll skip meals, stay in bed too long and not get the right nutrients and food. Alcohol also dehydrates you and depletes your body of key nutrients further exacerbating the effects.
Alcohol also lowers the natural levels of testosterone in your body, which as a bodybuilder is a big "no no", as testosterone is a key hormone in helping you build muscle. Also alcohol lowers your inhibitions, thus making it more likely that you'll stop for a kebab or pizza on the way home, which you wouldn't touch with a barge pole in normal circumstances.
Having a beer every now and again won't do you too much harm, especially if you are only bodybuilding for fun, however if you want to compete in competitions then alcohol is out of the question. Sorry. If you are going out on a night, try to position yourself as the designated driver, you won't be able to drink and you won't get grief from your mates for not having a beer. If you do have a drink, schedule an extra 30 minutes of cardio into your training plan to make sure you burn off the extra calories.
