OT: Can you lose weight/tone up and still drink 4+ times a week?
How counter productive is it to eat healthy and go to the gym 3-5 times per week but also going out and drinkin 3-5 times per week?
Thanks in advance, for any thoughts....

depends on how old you are, and your body type...........if you are over 28 years old no way. too much insulin/blood sugar interference regardless of the calories of the drink. dont drink for 5 months, lose 25 lbs and then drink as much as you want after that

yes , anytime i ever drank i would lose weight, i probaly need to start drinking again. No idea how some say it makes you gain weight. It acts like a diuretic anytime ive ever drank, but of course i don't drink anymore.

yes, but it depends on your metabolism. I have a high metabolism so I can but I have friends that can't, it's just harder for them to lose weight get toned up and in shape because they have a low metabolism. Metabolism i show fast your body burns calories.
Also beer has a lot of carbs in it, so alcohol is better. You get drunk quicker so you don't have to drink as much too so stick to the hard stuff and as long as you don't have a real low metabolism you'll get toned.
If you want to build muscle, like a lot of it, drinking does lower testosterone so you won't be at your peak performance if you drink 4 times a week. As long as your not a body builder or playing a sport like football or wrestle you shouldn't worry about it. If you are trying to get peak performance and doing serious squats or maxing out bench presses recovery time will be longer if you drink. But just going to the gym to keep in shape for the ladies you shouldn't have a problem drinking as long as you don't have a super slow metabolism. Drink up
