Loosing my son, wife and house didn't stop me Then when I got real close to loosing my soul, for real, God, who is Holy, saved me. Praise God, it's not hard. I got back to the gym and have gained 30 lbs and my strength is still increasing at 47. At one time I look back with sorrow at all the time I spent drunk, high, buzzed, lit toasted, gone, blah blah. Now, after close to 2 years of God gifted sobriety, my brain is clearing up good and my emotions are more under my own management. Sobriety - whats in your blood?

If you do drink do you say fuck it and just drink like 15 beers, or do you drink rum and diets? I know me personally I drink to often and I bet it effects my body but who else does or doesnt and what are your thoughts on drinking and training?
littlemack said:Here's a good story. I've never used gear so I don't know if this is normal, but a friend of mine, who owns a bar, and competed about a year ago (until he got hurt)drank all the time. Like nightly. He was always around the stuff as he was working in his bar. This guy was big. 6'1" 280lbs 8%bf. Took in 8000+cals a day. Some of the Texas NPC Supers know him. Before contest he changed up his gear and would stop drinking a couple weeks before a show. Used to call gear his "medicine." No discipline this guy, but that must be tough when you own a bar. He told me, that once he really got his bodyfat down in the 4% and under range, and his glutes were striated, that he processed alcohol like a machine! He said it was the craziest thing. He coulnd't get drunk. He would drink and drink and drink after a contest(I guess he and all his bb buds would go hit the bars in H-Town after a big show and take their shirts off to impress the ladies). Of course, this guy, has a very big personality (bigger than VV's...ha), and so some of it may be bullshit. That his body processed alcohol like this. I laughed when he told me that he drank himself sober after his last show. Take it for what its worth. No telling what kind of damage he's done to himself. Had to take its toll on his body.
