I lose weight when I drink. Always have done I can lose like 5-7 lbs in 2 or 3 days after a night of heavy drinking. And it really effects my gains in the gym and strength for couple of weeks afterwards too

I think its good to eat before u go out drinking…helps you to not get too drunk too fast…..what u think?? Don't u get drunker on an empty stomach as there is nothing in there to soak up the alcohol??
Also they say its good to drink milk before a night of drinking as it "lines the stomach"….

The weight gain typically seen from drinking is only partially responsible for slowing the liver.  The additional calories often causes weight issues and the liver turns to fat making it harder for the liver to just pass the fat.  The primary reason for beer belly is that beer promotes estrogen therefore guys will pack on fat in the belly and chest.  The preferred alcoholic drink is Tequila or Red Wine, because it has less of an effect on blood sugar and affect estrogen levels less.

I noticed when people don't eat at all and get hammered, people usually black out or have a horrible hangover… also from my personal experiences..

Another way to see this is: Your body's sources of energy are 1-Carbohydrates, 2-Fats and 3-proteins, and consumes these sources in that same order, when you consume alcohol, your body uses it now as the first source of energy substituting this way the carbs, which is going to make the metabolizing process of these energy sources, now longer (time wise) before your body can start metabolizing your fat cells. But just as Scott says, reaching the consumption or metabolic process of the fat cells, is going to depend on the amount type and of alcohol you consume. This will also have different results according to the individual's physical activity.
Blessings everybody. Great topic @ScottHermanFitness

Alcohol is one of the very worst things you can possibly consume

One of the few drugs that can literally kill you when you stop taking it

Hey Scott. I know this is an old vid so maybe it was thought to be true when you published the vid, but that is not the case. Your body doesn't prioritize what it digests just because it is alcohol. your stomach tries to break down the alcohol, but cannot because it isn't responsible for breaking down alcohol, so it passes it to the liver. The liver tries to break it down and if you consumed too much alcohol, the liver cannot break it down fast enough. At that point, you become drunk until the liver processes it. This is happening simultaneously while your stomach breaks down the junk food you like to eat when drinking alcohol. You get fat because you are adding more calories than you normally would from whatever the alcohol has and whatever unhealthy snacking food you are eating while you are drinking. 

Your workouts are bad ass by the way. I love throwing them into my routine when I need to switch up to high volume days.

If I go heavy drinking, for the next 5 days, the same amount of weight I lifted the week before is much harder to lift. Alcohol is a poison to your body, and you body reacts to it like a poison, so what do we expect, I guess. Would drinking poison be a good thing for your fitness?

Thank you Scott for that great information. I was unaware about this issue. Yes I like a "good glass of wine" now and again. But I do like Shiner beer. 140 calories per bottle. But now my liver has to or is going to go after the alcohol that I've just consumed before it goes after the food I had with the beer. Good information to drink "water" with.

I know you said make sure you over 21… but what if you live in a country where the drinking age is lower? like Canada?

One thing that doesn't make too much sense: If your body isn't digesting the food, how can it store it? It needs to be broken down to be accessible.

That is one of the reasons, some people get fat on the same diet others stay thin on. If you can metabolize more fibre than average, for example, you will have access to more energy, which will be put in your fat cells, if you don't use it in another way.
