So things are pretty clear now, bodybuilders are only allowed to "taste" alcohol if they care about their muscles... the truth is that I am more of an expert in psychological effects of alcohol that are plenty as well. Arnold was right, "why take something the body doesn't need right now?".

FYI, study 9 fed rats the equivalent of 60 bacardi shots to a 165 lb person per day. These studies have a habit of insuring their results. I've been a part of these things, take them under close scrutiny.

@Margaret: 1-2 alcohol drinks per day is about the average to be considered moderation. Once a month or even once a week is no big deal depending on your individual situation.

@MuscleGainingSecrets: It's not good for you. Provides no value except in the case of red wine and other such substances that have promising heart benefits. But it's not necessarily all bad depending on your situation and how much you actually drink.

Interesting thing is.. it's better to have 1-2 drinks per day than wait until the weekend and have 6 in a row. The 1-2 won't necessarily do much but the 6 at once can set you back. Especially if you workout hard first and then go drinking.

If you know you'll be out drinking, you might as well just skip any muscle building workouts that would put your body in a repair state.

Bottom line, moderation, low amounts spaced over time is insignificant except to the bodybuilder who's in a competition mode.

I'm certainly no bodybuilder, but am looking at getting back into better shape than I have been in years. I do like to have the occasional bit of alcohol and I do agree that it does all those things, but I would think it's not very likely to be as huge a problem when you drink one drink a month or even one drink a week. It's when it's a six pack (or more) every night that you see the real damage.
