I knew some serious drinkers that cycled, not for health reasons though.
Mostly for suspended or revoked drivers licenses and totaled drunkmobiles.

I have never had a driving licence the test instructor failed me, i did everything okey up to the point of loosing my temper and hurtling abuse at another driver and the test instructor asked me to return to the test centre with a fail.CravinMorehead said:I knew some serious drinkers that cycled, not for health reasons though.

If they do drink they shouldn't because for an athlete especially that is an inappropriate thing because as we all know for a fact it causes strange kinda things with the body which we shouldn't experience,It should be avoided completely even in parties also this is how i feel.
This is true, the issue some people have though, is they can't keep it at moderate levels. My brother is a prime example of some who escalates his drinking pretty quickly once he starts. I probably only drink once or twice a year if i'm lucky. Thinking about it now, I haven't had a drop all year.Originally Posted by Jenniferawhile .
In moderation, it's ok
6 Pints.. Wholly ****!!! No Wonder you feel like **** the next morning,,, I am surprised you can even get out of bed...Originally Posted by MountainPro .
I usually go out on friday evening after work with my wife and a few friends. I get home usually about 12 after having 6 pints of beer or so. This is the only time i drink. I get up at 7 am on a satureday for a cycle and usually feel like ****. I dont drink on a saturday because i always do a serious ride on a sunday. The difference between the two days is staggering.
I am aware of the health effects of alcohol and recently didnt have any drink for 6 weeks. I didnt miss it at all. I just felt anti social. My fitness improved after the exesses of the festive period and i needed to lose weight so giving up the booze really worked.
If you drink exessively and do 400 KMs per week and want us to tell you that its okay, then you'll be disappointed. Its not good for your mind and body. The deterioration of your liver may not be apparent right now but at some time you'll feel the effects of liver failure and it may not be til you are in your older years.
400Kms a week and youre only 'fairly fit'? 400Kms with only a few drinks a week and you'll be a whole lot fitter, stronger, less tired and mentally stronger. (you already knew this before you asked the question)
