>calories from alcohol are the same as calories from other macros
CICO tards have jumped the shark
It's not entirely wrong. A calorie is a calorie. The problem with alcohol is that it fricks your metabolism and kills your resting burn rate and recovery. So you can get fat while seemingly maintaining normal "activity levels" (workout/exercise time and intensity) because your true activity level (metabolism) is impacted.
You can offset this by scaling up your physical activity level to offset metabolism hits and doing shit like 8 hour arm days, but most people can't do that unless they're frat bros skipping class or unemployed Chads.
I went to drinking once a week this year and I look and feel significantly better. Alcohol isn't a meme but I think most people can handle it like once a week max without either getting addicted or getting fat and immuno compromised/bloated because it's terrible for you.
Anon alcohol feels good but has a tonne of downsides maybe live in reality?
it's a meme
it's not normal to ever have any alcohol, ever, not even a drop. i'm serious
What do you mean by normal because it is very common and socially acceptable.
>so moronic doesn’t know what normal means
Being autistic and having a fractured relationship with society and others is more detrimental to your gains than the sauce, anon.
It’s bad for you but that doesn’t mean that it’s a meme. I’m staying away from it now when I’m trying to be consistent with my training, get lean and not fall behind at work but I still love getting drunk and I’ll do it again when it gets sunny in a few months.
Man it’ll be so nice to get drunk on the cliffs by the ocean, in bars in the city or in the forest by a lake with a campfire.
Same. I'm on a break right now just because I have been drinking consistently for years, a beer or two a night. I want to take a break mostly to prove to myself that I can. It's easy. But I love PBR and can't wait to kill some in the summer sun.
PBR?
YouTube
"White trash in trouble"
So funny
One PBR is all it takes to start off my night into a drinking rage. So awesome.
Same here bros. It's hard to deny drinking feels extremely fricking nice in the right circumstances. But I simply cannot allow myself to indulge in it weekly or even monthly anymore. It's incompatible with being fit in the long run, so it gotta be rare.
But nobody claims alcohol energises you, or makes you feel wonderful the next day.
It can just be a shit ton of fun, the music just hits deeper. But there is a cost to pay. It's just balance. 5 days off and 2 on, if you must.
It's slop, same category as all the other processed garbage. You can indulge, but don't pretend it's anything but a gains goblin
It's fine if you're used to it as something of a minor social lubricant. I have somewhere between one and two glasses of brandy (like 4-6 shots each) a week when having people over or meeting them. It's pretty rare if I go out drinking for the sake of getting drunk exception being new years and halloween.
A glass of brandy should be at least 10 shots, or a bit under half of a 750ml bottle
I usually have one before work and at lunch
Are you fricking moronic. The negative affects of alcohol are well documented and common knowledge. If you're a grown man just figure out the right balance, there's nothing to discuss debate. Why do brownoids on here need validation for every life decision they make.
>If you're a grown man just figure out the right balance
That's what I'm doing anon.
>there's nothing to discuss
Sure there is, given that it has already happened in this thread.

Alcohol is for people with no real interests , personality, or worse yet - a crutch to cope with their miserable lives
Very few situations does it improve
it's death in a bottle because while ur drinking u have shut off your human processes ur just disconnected from life
so you die every time,
anyone that drinks, they are already dead, also u need raw eggs to not drink u will die if u do not do this good bye, so stupid
Having a healthy relationship with alcoholsm is like having a healthy relationship with a partner(m/f/d).
It can be a wonderful thing and bring out new things about yourself you werent even aware of. However, if you feel shitty and just seek the relationship to get away from that, it wont do you any god apart from short term alleviation.
You need to be already happy to form a happy relationship with it.
I've never seen sucha good explanation but it seems so obvious now. thanks for the brain words
This is a really good way to put it. Funny enough, the biggest self-destructive alcoholic I know is also a guy who is chronically addicted to terrible relationships with horrible women. But, I know plenty of people who can "have a drink" and are totally reasonable and successful people, moreso than most adamant sobergays. I'll say, the ability to "have a drink and chill out" has helped get me through very stressful times and situations, I'm not endorsing drinking excessively at all or to solve your problems, but there is a time when it can relax and refocus you and get you out of an anxiety pit, too, if you don't let it carry you away or become a chronic habit.
>anxiety gone

Alcohol kills brain cells so

It's only a problem if you drink it a lot. I have at max 2-4 beers a week and I never drink anything stronger. Never had any issues whatsoever.
I've also found that it depends on what beer you buy. The cheap stuff is awful.
deluded alcohol use disorder, poor idiot
>no hangover fog
Jesus Christ why can't you drink reasonably? You wouldn't have hangovers if you didn't get shitfaced every time. A glass of beer or wine a day won't kill you but you dont have to drink 5 glasses.
How much poison is "reasonable"? 1 serving?
Having a small amount still leaves you with a hangover, even if it's small.
I never understood how people are capable of drinking heavily if they live somewhere they have to drive around everywhere to get anywhere. Drinking makes sense if you're a city slicker trying to get pussy but zoomers are really gay about that nowadays and think it's rape if you had two beers before talking to a woman
if you tell me you drink, at all, i immediately know you're a loser
be careful anons
>I can't put 5-10lbe on my back squat I hit 3x a week unless I don't drink
Sorry for trying to stop all the power bottoms from trying to have a tighter anus, I wasn't aware.
I believe in normal distribution so I see the opposite, if you don't drink, I can't trust you because you're not a normal person. Im not going to guess which side of the bell curve you're on or if its the "good" kind of abnormal or the "bad" kind.
Also kind of that idea of the one sober guy observing a party and keeping records while everyone else is trying to cut loose, maybe lower that inhibition and self-compromise a bit, rubs the wrong way. Like the judgmental frick in the corner that thinks he is just so superior (you) to these others acting like morons
There's more dangerous sober people in this world than there are dangerous drunks
Politicians dont drink (except for appearances) and they're always sociopathic.
Like you just know Donald Trump is a piece of shit and has done really horrible shit in his personal life, when he's not literally saving america from pinko homosexuals and their west coast social cult
Only weak cowards fear alcohol because they have something to hide. Never trust them.
Alcohol is a worldwide cult, it is poison that doesn’t do anything good for you past the initial novelty.
Jesus christ, what is it with people on this site? I know a lot of the time people shitpost here, but the majority of you make yourselves seem extremely socially inept. If you're confused by what I mean then reread your post. If you still don't understand you are too far gone.

A lot of the pro-alcohol posts appear to have been deleted since I made that one, but these are normally the kinds of posts you see on this site in general. I have known actual alcoholics, by the way. Someone who drinks once a week is not an alcoholic. I'm surprised this thread is still up anyway.

No, it's literally poison. You're finding out what it feels like to stop poisoning yourself every day.
It feels pretty good. I quit 5 years ago and it's one of the best decisions I ever made.
I used to drink 4-7 beers 2-3 times a week, stopped for about a month and a half and while I have no desire to drink anymore, I literally feel no different.
Yeah I was off it for January and did a two nighter with some mates last weekend. Felt like absolute shit for the two days after recovering and am realising just how much better life actually feels when not drinking.
Nah the real meme is weed

Trick is to drink one beer and then smoke a joint so it feels like you've drank 3 and your also high.
then drink another beer
based but replace the beer with vodka
Leaves you dehydrated when smoking. You gotta drink 2 or 3 15 minutes before because weed hits instantly.
It's honestly a good trick to stretch your weed.
It 100% raises test and people who can handle their liquor are more manly because their liver works better. I can drink a 5th in a day if I start around lunch(not that impressive but I'm not an alcoholic).

If you’re actually an alcoholic then you’d feel terrible after 5 days
If you’re not an alcoholic but just like to drink you still won’t actually start noticing improvements for at least a couple weeks
You have to be drinking most of a handle a day to actually get withdrawals how the frick do people even do that?
I feel better right away when i stop drinking half a fifth a day, frick off dumbass idiot moron
>If you’re actually an alcoholic then you’d feel terrible after 5 days
OP: "nice, I'm not an alcoholic then - can pick up drinking again!"
I'm drinking beer now and not really enjoying it like I used to. I should just go to bed. Help me bros.
Oh great. Another totally not subtle anti-alcohol /misc/homosexual thread on IST! My favorite!
It's great for socializing and that's what it should be used for, and not to get drunk either.
Alcohol stops becoming cool after 25. If you still drunk regularly and can tell me about your favorite craft beer/mixed drinks you're a fricking loser. No exceptions. People who tell you drunken stories of conquest are gays who need to do something with their lives.
You really should try this Flying Saucer IPA, it's brewed at the old mill in Wisconsin and has a strong gooseberry kick. 6.3%. Slip a few of these down on a summer night and I might not be responsible for my actions, hehe

I drink 4~5 beer cans (500ml each/5% alc) a day
I've used to weight 75kgs (frick pounds/ft/inches/oz/mutt slang) and now I'm at 90kgs, since I was powerlifting all along I felt an intense gains. I've used to think I was a meek piece of shit, turns out, being a fat frick helps lifting and converting all into pure muscle glory.
You can take magnesium and focus on breath work to calm your CNS instead.
Drinking is terrible for you - period. You are basically paying to poison yourself. But of course, there is an upside, otherwise people wouldn't do it.
I always see zoomers in these threads who pretend like they don't understand it. "Only losers drink!" says the fortnite addict who still live at home rent free. It's easy to not understand it when you have literally zero (real) pressures in life. It's a pressure-alleviator. Sometimes life throws shit at you that no amount of lifting, meditation, or clean eating will resolve. Does this mean you should drink your sorrows away? No. Is it understandable why people do? Absolutely.
The character-building comes from being in a position where, for all intents and purposes, drinking is absolutely warranted but you still deny it in favor of gritting your teeth and getting through it by your natural willpower alone. It is a tough thing to ask people to quit depending on their circumstances, but you must do it if you want to improve your life. It is easy to be a sober, self-assured, egotistical "master of stoicism" when life isn't curb stomping you. I no longer drink, but I don't judge those who do. Sometimes people are going through a living nightmare, and it's very often more complicated than "they are just a loser". It's a terrible drug for this reason. If you have the capacity to quit, please do it!

Surprising to see an above 120 IQ post here (the sure-fire indicator of this is the ability to see from another's perspective).
Throughout recorded history human beings have made life bearable by taking intoxicants. And, while societies differ over which intoxicants should be encouraged, which tolerated and which forbidden, there has been a convergence of opinion around one all-important rule: that the result must not threaten public order. The Native American pipe of peace, like the Middle Eastern hookah, illustrates an ideal of social intoxication, in which good manners, uncomplicated affections and serene thoughts are brought into being by communal puffing. Some people see cannabis in similar terms, though research into its neurological effect sheds another and more disturbing light on its social meaning.
The problem case, however, is not cannabis but alcohol, which has an instant effect on physical coordination, on manners, on emotions and on the understanding. A visitor from another planet, observing Russians under the influence of vodka, Czechs in the grip of slivovitz, or American hill-billies blotto on moonshine, would surely favour prohibition. As we know, however, prohibition doesn’t work. For if society is sometimes threatened by intoxicants, it is equally threatened by the lack of them. Without their aid we see each other as we are, and no human society can be built on so frail a foundation. The world is besieged by destructive illusions, and recent history has made us wary of them, so wary that we forget that illusions are sometimes beneficial. Where would we be without the belief that human beings can face down disaster and swear undying love? But such a belief persists only if renewed in imagination, and how can this occur if we have no escape route from the evidence? The need for intoxicants is therefore deeply embedded in us, and all attempts to forbid our habits are bound to end in failure.

The social drinking of wine, during or after a meal, and in full cognizance of its delicate taste and evocative aura, seldom leads to drunkenness, and yet more seldom to loutish behaviour. The drink problem that we witness in British cities stems from our inability to pay Bacchus his due. Thanks to cultural impoverishment, young people no longer have a repertoire of songs, poems, arguments or ideas with which to entertain one another in their cups. They drink to fill the moral vacuum generated by their culture, and while we are familiar with the adverse effect of drink on an empty stomach, we are now witnessing the far worse effect of drink on an empty mind.
It is not only drunken brawls that offend, however. So do most dinner parties. Guests shout egocentrically at their neighbours, ten conversations are pursued at once, each leading nowhere, and the ceremonial replenishing of the glass gives way to grabbing and guzzling. A good wine should always be accompanied by a good topic, and the topic should be pursued around the table with the wine. As the Greeks recognized, this is the best way to consider truly serious questions, such as whether sexual desire targets the individual or the universal, whether the Tristan chord is a halfdiminished seventh, or whether there could be a proof of Goldbach’s conjecture.

Shut the frick up alkie moron
Alcohol is poison and is shilled to the masses for a reason. Genuine occasional social drinking no more than once a week at the most isn’t bad but do not let drinking become a habit.
Nah bro. Every time I've gone sober nothing has ever changed. Its a meme. You're you and you will always be you. Some beers once or twice a week hasn't made you into somebody different. Not drinking won't magically make you into who you want to be.
Beer is a cultural tradition thing but it lowkey kinda sucks. Tastes good cold and with greasy food but when it's warm it's not good

There's no such thing as a "genetic" design for you to consume a useless poison. It's one notch above sniffing glue, the life force wouldnt code you for that because, again, the life force doesn't like waste and stupidity, inefficiency. I guarantee 500000% that in a not so far future, no one will even think about consuming even a drop of alcohol. It is so absurd to even discuss this topic, its ridiculous to even mention the idea od a human being ingesting alcohol

Why do you pathethic trash morons think alcohol is the closest to sniffing glue in effects? Because what I explained to you earlier, alcohol is a PURE poison, it serves no purpose and just disorients the brain rabdomly, it's the same exact "mechanism" as sniffing glue but with lighter effects
Every other actual drug on the planet has a specific purpose, a desired outcome. Alcohol is random stupidity

Pathethic trash
People back in the day drank out of necessity. They did know the dangers of untreated water, but didn't know the cause, so fermentation ended up the preferred method of treatment. Beer was drank so you wouldn't shit your guts out from bacteria in the water, getting slight mood elevation from low ethanol doses was just a happy side effect that cemented the belief this is the way to go with water treatment.
Nowadays we know how to treat water without fermentation. Alcohol is obsolete.

Alcohol: obsolete
Screen cap this
>I will tell you again, exactly 0 chance alcohol is used by anyone in the near future
I don't think so. It's obsolete from a practical standpoint, but it's very rooted in culture and it's a big industry. But it sucks as a drug too, really - the high is pretty whatever compared to most drugs, very addictive, terrible aftermath. It would take a long time for it go away, but i could see it happening eventually.
>the high is pretty whatever compared to most drugs, very addictive, terrible aftermath
These are all good things, though. You don't consume alcohol for the high, but for the taste. Beers, wines, and even spirits all have very distinct, strong, and excellent flavors to them that you can't get elsewhere.
If you drink to get drunk, no matter how frequently you drink, you're an alcoholic.
>morons fighting over which poison is worse for you because it makes you feel less like shit than the other
Just lift if you feel like shit, b***hes.
Lately I've been drinking 1-2 beers most nights. Helps me relax but even at this amount I can tell I'm a little dehydrated in the morning. Bigger issue is that sometimes this induces such a good mood that I stay up too long listening to music, reading or reminiscing. But I'm kinda considering just keeping this up forever with small breaks, when I look back at my entire 20s the periods with regular mild drinking were always my best
If you can keep it at 1-2 and the consumption stops some time before you sleep you'll be fine as long you don't do that literally every day.
One standard unit of alcohol (small beer, glass of wine or shot of liquor) takes 2 hours to fully be metabolized and that shit adds up. So if you get the urge to drink more, just keep in mind that a sixpack basically means you fricked up a whole night of sleep.
>no hangover fog
I hate drinking, but I never understood this. The few times I drank when I was younger was with the sole purpose to get as shitfaced as possible. Maybe because I'm a homosexual by alcoholic standards, but I always drank a lot of water with my mixed shots (because they tasted awful) and pissed like a firehose throughout the night. I would sleep like a baby and wake up completely refreshed the next morning. I really do think alcoholics are just low IQ masochists.
Drunk pissing is one of the finest base pleasures in life, a great reason to hydrate thoroughly while consuming alcohol.
Alcohol is fine so long as you drink in moderation. I experimented a lot in college, but even then I tried to stick to 1 drink a week maximum. That was enough for me to stick to only drinking it at big social events or when I go to clubs.
I only drink every other week or so right now, but there's not much of an issue with having a beer, a glass of wine, or even sipping on a good rum every now and then.
Yeah, it's the biggest meme there is. It's as bad for you health-wise as any other drug but it's legal and seen as the socially correct thing to do. You can't reach your physical and mental potential if you regularly drink i.e. more than once a month
I like to drink every week or two in a week but sometimes i just don't drink at all for a month or so.
You have made the right decision, anon. Don't look back.
