Alcohol & Performance

With the new year upon us its time to celebrate…. but take care of your self!  Heres a recent podcast from the Barbell Shrugged Crew that outlines the latest research on how alcohol can affect recovery http://daily.barbellshrugged.com/vingren/. 

My two biggest take aways from this podcast were: 1.) Drinking alcohol will increase the time it takes to recover from a workout 2.) Drinking alcohol the night prior will affect endurance > max strength.
