So if one drinks about 5 shots a night (mixed with a zero calorie mixer), they should be fat and nasty? So how does one explain making gains, increasing cardiovascular aptitude, and losing fat?

Now I will admit that I naturally live in a caloric deficit and work out for about 3 hours a day. I do a typical meathead workout then follow that up with 3 modified WODs.

I read everything that should be happening in my body but my energy is great. My recovery is good I work out 4 days on 1 day off with one of those days just being cardio WODs (no lifts). And my muscle mass is increasing, getting denser. and getting stronger. I'm 31 and I'm the strongest I've ever been and looking almost as good as I did coming out of Boot Camp 3.5 years ago (not trying to drop down to 170 lbs again tho..198 right now down from 208 a couple weeks ago. I do dislike the dehydration in the morning...my only real complaint.

So my question is... what explains my abuse of alcohol not affecting me the way it should.

Side not I drink even more on the weekends.

And thanks for reading. Really just curious.
