Does the majority of /fit/ abstain from it? For those who do drink, how do you decide what to consume in relation to nutritional content? How often?

I decide what to drink based on taste. I'm trying to gain ~10lb but I also run a lot so basically my diet is basically "eat as much as I want as long as it's not just pure fat or sugar"
>>42021454
I have never drank and probably never will because of family history of alcoholism and not wanting to go down the path.
It's a little tough in college with how much of a social activity it is, but I still think I'm making the right choice in the end.
Any other /fit/izens with similar stories?
hurts my bulking because i either end up getting sick or having a hangover, which is 1-2 days of being thrown off my routine. Abstaining for maybe 5-6 months if possible, so I can get to a weight I am more comfortable with.

So how come I body like 10+ beers Thurs-Sunday and don't gain weight?

OP here. I can resist drinking in social situations, it doesn't matter to me, but I do often drink when I'm feeling down. I know I need to stop, especially since I'm just shitting out my workouts, but I don't know how to cope with certain personal issues.
Anyway, for what it's worth I think it's okay to drink every now and then and meet some girls in college, but yeah you have the right state of mind by putting it on the back burner.

You're in your 20's right?
keep it up for a year or two and see what happens.
I drank a fuck ton in college. Now Im 25 and gave it up mostly for the past year.
Well now Im back in grad school and go out nearly every day because its too tempting for me to sit around my apartment all comfy, and I use alcohol to ease up, and then I end up drinking too much.
Honestly if I know Im gonna drink that night I just lower the calories. However I do IF and obviously that doesnt help.
Still I havent gained weight, jst not losing anymore fat. Stuck in 15-16% BF hell

I'm a pretty high-functioning alcoholic and dropped 90lb over the past 15 months or so while still increasing or maintaining most of my lifts. 6'0 170lb 105/205/225/285
Currently a 6-pack and 4 margaritas deep. Biked 9 miles home from the bar with the boys. It's harder to keep the cut while drinking, but im not willing to sacrifice my social life for gains. Your results may vary.
