I know i shouldnt drink alcohol if i want to train. Im curious though exactly how bad one or two glasses of white, or red wine is with dinner once or twice a week. im guessing all the carbs in beer make it a no no generaly. but seriously, is a couple of glasses of wine going to cause major problems? thanks for your time everyone. dent.
I use to drink a glass of wine the night before competitionyou wake up dry and hard.

Alcohol, call it what you like it's still poison. That's my take on the subject of alcohol. Period.
I respect others' views though...

I use to be a big wine drinker until I relised that although it wasnt hurting my lifts it was impacting the ability for my body to use the protein from the steak i ate with the wine. Also consider this, wine has the highest amount of calories per unit weight of anything that you'll put in your mouth....9 cals/ml so if you're drinking 100mls and admit it you will never stop at 100ml thats almost the same amount of cals as a pizza. Empty calories that will stop your body from being in an anabolic state. I take my steak with water now, not as graceful but atleast the nutritional value of the steak is not going to waste. Oh and I have an extra $200 a month in my pocket.
Are you sure about that figure Kingpin? That would mean there are 900 cals per 100ml glass of wine or 6750 cals per bottle (750ml). I don't drink wine, but that is massive!!
So you could eat lots, do no exercise, get obese, and have red wine to lessen the effects.Red wine contains what we know as resveratrol---an antioxidant that may help to protect one from obesity and diabetes, both of which are strong risk factors for heart disease.

Or you could eat less and do some exercise and not get obese in the first place
I'd just read about this guy who drinks 1 glass wine + 50 mL glycerine.

I wonder what that tastes like?!
I strongly agree with you, Kyle.
A standard drink is equal to 13.7 grams (0.6 ounces) of pure alcohol or
- 12-ounces of beer.
- 8-ounces of malt liquor.
- 5-ounces of wine.
- 1.5-ounces or a “shot” of 80-proof distilled spirits or liquor (e.g., gin, rum, vodka, or whiskey).
