It doesn’t take an expert to tell you the negative effects alcohol can have on body composition, recovery, and performance. However, context is important. Alcohol in moderation has does not seem to negatively impact performance. A recent study published in the journal the_issn showed that 10-weeks of HIIT style training improved cardiovascular fitness and muscular strength despite moderate amounts of alcohol intake. In this particular study, the women consumed 330 ml (about 1 drink) at dinner while the men consumed 660ml (1 drink at lunch, and 1 drink at dinner) Monday through Friday. While excessive alcohol consumption can negatively impact performance and recovery, the significance of this impact is influenced by the dose. rpstrength recommends limiting consumption to 2-3 alcoholic beverages, drink protein around the time you drink, stick to lower calorie beverages, and limit intake before bed.
