over the last 6 months or so i've basically been trying to balance lifting, work and drinking, to moderate success.

>work is 12.5hr shifts
>2 day shifts, 2 night shifts
>come home in the morning, that day off + 4 more full days off

i usually go out with mates once a week and drink a fair bit (20 standards or so) and it's very enjoyable. i'll usually smoke a cigarette with every beer too, although i've been curbing this lately by being a vaping faggot. i don't smoke at all unless i'm out on a drinking night. because i work a 9 day roster most of my weekends are free, luckily some of my friends are degenerates and are willing to hound during the week with me. i know this is terrible for gains: not only because having a drinking night completely demotivates wanting to go to the gym, but it also ruins any gains made earlier that day (via liver prioritising the processing of alcohol over protein). it also fucks your body up in other ways, one of them being just a shit tonne of calories turning you into a fat fuck.

anyway, does anybody else have a lifestyle like this? it seems to be going well so far, my lifts are progressing slowly and i'm not putting on weight because i have enough will to keep a decent diet.

basically i'm mostly happy with this lifestyle, but there is something deep inside me which is unnerved about it and i'm not sure if this is normal behaviour, or if i'm being a fucking degenerate.

I did this when cut and realized that i couldn't get rid of my belly fat. Everything I've read says that alcohol and carbs in excess cause the body to store more fat around the stomach.

You're probably fine if you don't give a shit about that and just want gainz, but i had to cut alcohol to 1/mo in order to finally get rid of stomach fat.

I also found that after drinking I was worse about saying no to shitty food, but that's just a personal thing.

Just end yourself

I mean yiur situation is better than not lifting at all, but barely. If youre still interested in lifting a few years from now, you'll regret the way you're doing it now.

Can someone explain the effects of lifting with energy drinks like pic related?

My friend drinks these non stop and I can't help but think it's got to be a strain on his heart but don't know enough to actually say anything about it.

i feel you man (OP here, forgot about this thread but realised the tab was still open hours later). i know it will be regrettable as far as lifting goes, but i'm talking more about making it in life in general. i've got a pretty made life via $100k job, hot gf, great friend group, great family etc, but i think if anything could end it all it would be alcoholism. i'm an ausfuck if that means anything, basically all my parents and relatives drink a lot of alcohol, it's fun but for some reason i feel guilty about doing it. maybe it's because i have to read so much american media and you boys are so cucked about alcohol (never drink, only water!), or maybe it's because there is actually something fucked up about this lifestyle. i could potentially see myself falling into full blown alcoholism some time in the future

It's pretty retarded. Marijuana is still illegal when alcohol is a literal poison that kills you.

You feel guilty because deep down you know its a crutch. And alcoholism WILL cause you to lose those things, its a question of when, not IF.

20 drinks is way too many man. Cut that in half, or by two-thirds, and you can still have fun without fucking up your gains so much.
