Alcohol: "Countless fitness professionals warn male clients that "beer equals man boobs," but alcohol leads to FBG syndrome in both sexes. Many would think of FBG syndrome as a woman's problem, but I've seen lots of men showing high estrogen through their impressive cleavage. Numerous studies confirm that alcohol increases estrogen in both men and women. Alcohol does this by affecting liver enzyme activity and causing poor detoxification of estrogens."

Alcohol: it's not just the useless calories; it's the interference with replenishing sleep cycles, the effects on hormone levels, the lipolysis interruption, and how alcohol negatively alters your eating and training patterns. (Are you really getting six meals a day and training with enthusiasm after a night of intoxication? Um, no.)

Remember, the root word of intoxication is toxic... poison. The feeling of being drunk is the side effect of being poisoned. Literally. Taken too far and the body attempts to expel the poison (you throw up). If that doesn't work, then there's always the option of medical stomach pumping... again, removing the toxic substance so you don't die.
