Alcohol, Gear, and Well Being
Hello,
This is a question regarding a mix of those three. As shown, one to two drinks may help with cardiovascular system. Thus, I consume 1-2 beers depending on strength each night. I don't get a buzz or anything of the sort, it actually soothes me and readies me for sleep.
What I have noticed is that my feeling of well being is exponentially increased after I drink my beer. Is this something usual? Is it a method of the brain, which interacts with the already increased sense altered by the effects of alcohol at a single drink?

Alcohol causes stress/damage to your liver. **
Alcohol causes your body to store fat in your midsection. **
Alcohol seems to have a wasting effect on thigh and gluteal muscles. **
Alcohol can increase the stress hormone cortisol by 61% when taken after weight training. **
All of these facts run counter to your goal...
Exercise, diet, water, and supplements (e.g. CoQ10, fish oil, l-carnitine, hawthorne, vitamins C,D,E,B) can help your cardiovascular system. Not to mention staying away from salt and getting plenty of rest.
** Based on studies reported in: "The Journal of Applied Physiology", "American Journal of Gastroenterology", and "Metabolism".
Studies have shown one to two beers can improve the function of every organ other than liver. A small amount of alcohol will not harm anything. Unless you're a raging alcoholic there's no reason to completely abstain.
The red wine is said to be good for you because of the resveratrol's antioxidant abilities. 1 to 2 beers, glasses of wine or shots of liquor per day is good for you. Start doubling that amount and that's when the negative effects come in. I also read a study stating that drinking one beer after excessively sweating can help rehydrate.
silverback89drinking inhibits protien synthesis that means lil to no gains. And your liver is taken more damage. stop being a puss and smoke some herb its the only thing a bodybuilder can do without negitive effects...
If you are drinking to "improve cardiovascular system" thats dumb. I would drink 1 glass of wine but thats it.
Doing cardio will be more beneficial for your cardiovascular system. 2 beers a day is a horrible idea for what you have planned.
also alcohol CAN make you tired but it makes you sleep more restless, meaning your not getting good sleep while on alcohol. Your body cannot effectively rest while you are under influence because it is trying to flush it from your system. Alcohol also dehydrates you and drains your nutrients in your body too
Thank you for the input. Actually that was something I read on a research a while back. I'm sure you've drank while on cycle, did it make you feel any different? Also, I do have a problem with it quite honestly. I've been doing it for two or so now.
I will quit though, but in reality it hasn't made a difference. Regardless, it is unhealthy.
Well It's not gonna kill you or anything its just not a good habit to get into.
While on cycle I feel good enough as is but yes I do have a glass of crown royal straight on those fucked up days and I need a break. But thats like once every 2 weeks or so. (however, with election coming up I predict that bottle will go fast )
But all in all I do not drink much if any at all while on cycle.
and as to feeling different, no I never noticed that it enhances alcohol or anything like that.
I agree, it is a bad habit. I need to stop.
You shouldn't worry about the election to be honest, every president seems to be the same and seem to do nothing to help better those who are truly in need. I stopped giving a shit
Although, I do like to see the campaigns and how bogus they are at attacking other candidates. It's almost like bullying!
I'm not a big drinker, but like I stated I do drink a beer or two each night, started recently. I will quit as I've said though.
For me it doesn't enhance alcohol, instead it makes me feel more.. well.. clear minded and focused on my objectives. I don't quite understand it, but it does happen to me.
On an ending note, goodnight! I need to head to bed I've prepped my food for tomorrow, even though it's this late haha.
