i recently stopped drinking 90% of the time now which is hardly ever. My strength has gone up and bf has gone down. is this because of the alcohol? If so, im probably going to do a next cycle here pretty soon and stay 100% sober and see what kind of gains i can produce.

That absolutely had something to do with it....alcohol slows down your metabolism...

alcohol is converted to sugar in you body, you might as well be drinking sugar water. It is pure empty calories too. By that I mean no nutritional value.

Water is best. It is the alcohol that is converted to sugar. I don't really know what is in wine other than grapes and alcohol. Grapes are very sugary as well.

water is good and all... but i need something that is going to have a positive effect for the specific time I will be consuming alcohol such as this saying goes...

"at 2 a.m. she's a 10 and at 10 she's a 2...:

I am a victim of rebound... :fyi:

LOL, there is something to be said for a "theraputic" dose of alcohol. The dose required is often detemined by the quality of women around.
