i was just wondering if i should be drinking alcohol while taking supplements.. im currently taking only cell mass and protein.

If you want to be a bodybuilder i would drop the alcohol out of your diet but i dont think the alcohol would effect the supplements any.

Oh boy, here we go again on the alcohol.

alcohol can strip vitamins and nutrients out of your system right out into your urine...........protien and creatine, vitamin e, d, a, c, k........just to name a few.......so why waste money on stuff you are going to piss out?

wow just feeling the same thing, didnt we just have a 4 page debate on this sh!t?? Sorry envileent but please use your head.  Its not good period.  So add working out and taking supplements and alcohol just intensifies how bad it is.

Haha, yeah, Alcohol is really bad for you on the supps, i'd drop it.

thanks guys

As my man Corso would say not so fast my friend. I agree alcohol is bad for you(thats obvious). But I would say as long as your not an alcoholic it shouldnt effect what your trying to do unless you are wanting to be a competitive bodybuilder. Does it mess with your supplements? Sure, a little but most likely you are drinking on the weekends or maybe even during the week but I assume it would be late at night. By then your supplements should have already done their job. That comment may stir should people up on here. Lets just look at the fact that most of us are young adults and right or wrong alcohol is going to be a part of our lives. I didn't drink an ounce of alcohol for over a year while I was training and now that I am I haven't seen a major difference. If anything I've gotten stronger and bigger, although I'm not crediting that to alcohol just to being a hardworker in the gym and eating a lot of protein. Pretty much what I'm trying to say is that a lot of people will try to say that if your drinking at all you're wasting your time in the weight room but its completely untrue. Well, I just had to state my point in this fun little debate.
