Are you currently training hard lifting weights, but are not seeing the muscle building results that you are looking for. One reason could be because your drinking too much alcohol. If you are looking to build lean muscle mass, drinking booze will slow down or even grind your muscle building to a complete stop.
Lets look at why drinking alcohol is going to slow down your muscle building. For starters alcohol will slow down your bodies protein synthesis and as we all know muscle is made up of protein. Excessive alcohol consumption is said to slow down protein synthesis down by up to 20%. Alcohol also slows down the male hormone testosterone, the hormone which determines how much muscle we have on our body. The more testosterone you have free flowing in your body the easier you will find it to gain muscle and get bigger.

Alcohol also cause severe dehydration, and because your muscles are made up of 70% water this is going to be absolute disaster if you are wanting to build lean muscle mass. It also depletes you body of vital nutrients and vitamins which play a very important role in muscle building.
If you are serious about building a muscular body you will need to reduce your alcohol intake or eliminate it altogether. If you must have a drink, try to limit the amount of days each month that you go out on an heavy drinking session. If you are going out drinking lots and lots of booze every weekend you can kiss goodbye to ever owning a muscular body.
