🚨🚨🚨FLASH SALE ALERT🚨🚨🚨
With our store location being less than a mile away from a commercial gym, we see on a daily basis individuals stop by Vern's for a post workout drink. Because nothing is better than a nice adult beverage after a nice, hard gym session, right? It begs the question, are there any benefits to alcohol consumption after working out?
The simple answer is no, no there aren't any benefits. Quite the opposite, in fact. Alcohol intake after a workout can halt the body's ability to recover, as well as it's ability to repair and strengthen muscle build, by reducing muscle protein synthesis. Therefore, it severely limits your gains, bro, lay off the brewskis after pumping iron! Also, alcohol can increase dehydration since it is a natural diuretic, and after a hard sweaty workout, your body is looking for ways to rehydrate, not the opposite. And post workout consumption of alcohol can increase your body's cortisol levels, a stress hormone that increases muscle breakdown. Feel free to enjoy an occasional drink, in moderation, after a workout, but don't let it become a regular habit, your body will thank you!
Roll 'em!
