| Re: Advice for a college student
Honestly, it all depends on what your goals are. If you want to gain muscle and get ripped, then you know what the answer is to your question already. But I take a day off and allow myself anything and everything once a week (including copious amounts of alcohol!) and have seen no real adverse affects from it (except for the next morning!!) in terms of strength and growth.
College is there to have fun... But, i think it was mentioned in another post that when you drink and eat fatty foods, your liver prioritises removing the alcohol from your body, allowing the fatty foods to go get converted to fat deposits and keeping your body fat higher, which means if you're looking to lower that, then yes, you are working against it. Personally though, I say you need to play hard and have some fun, especially in your senior year at college!!
