Man I hate to burst your bubble, but your better off drinking a 12 pack a night instead of getting high depending on the level of your opposition. Weed has lasting effects on the body. It basically can make you a limp noodle in a sense, it makes you less aggressive, and can't be good for your lungs.

it makes me a bit less agressive, but it keeps me in a state of mind where i can train harder. sound weird i know, but it works like a reward. also my general happiness go up when i get high on a regular. it is bad of the lungs, but not as bad as cigs, and i feel i make up for it anyways. i cant talk for nobody else, im not like that. im not one of those dudes saying everyone should stop doing weights for boxing, i dont do it personally cuz it doesnt work for me. i feel slower when using weights. not saying it makes ppl slower, i get slower. same thing here, drinking affects my training more than weed.

The question you gotta ask yourself, is the one I ask myself when I go outside and train in 105 degree heat with three box fans pointing at my heavy bag. "Why am I doing this?"..."The other guys aren't" is my eternal answer...look at pot that way, I promise your opponents aren't all smoking...Are you boxing competitively?

also how old are you

im 18. and to answer your previous question yes, i do compete. listen man everyone has their things. cotto drinks, winky has his doughnuts, hagler used to drink for sure and he might or might not have smoked weed aswell. im not a slacker, this is my one thing. feel me? i still think my talent, hard work and size will allow me to get the W over an oponent who doesnt smoke. im 6'3 & 1/2 and fight at 152.

To be fair mate, substances effect everyone differently, the difference between weed and alcohol in this respect is that even if you can train 100% whilst being a regular drinker it is actively damaging your body as it is toxic to your body. Weed is not toxic to your body and the only real effects it will have on you is it can damage your lungs (there are ways around this, vapourizers for example) and it can affect you mentally if you are predispositioned to that.

However many people smoke weed and it helps them train better, some people smoke weed and it makes them lazy and train worse, my point is weed affects people differently but wont really have leave any adverse damage to your physical self, alcohol on the other hand damages your body tremendously whether you handle it well or not.

Moderation moderation moderation. Dont go out and get f'd up but a few beers with some cards or a movie and a few friends isnt too bad at all. Even if its some mad party you can still moderate your self and try to find some water every once and while Staying hydrated is one of the most important factors to how you will feel the next day.

I'll once again use Ricky Hatton as an example...... just take a look at him.

The answer is obvious and needs no real explanation other than you looking at people who drink regularly. If you get wasted every weekend ideally you should cut back, this is whether you are taking boxing seriously or not.

It's not good for you.

I feel a bit sorry for Hatton, it was his persona outside the ring that made him what he was, and even if he had wanted to stop drinking he probably wouldnt be able to as he would have felt like he would be turning his back on his fans. In a way it was his fans that made him and his fans that broke him imo.

i say taking shots of liquor on the weekends is fine...but guzzling beer with your buddies while watching a sporting event or at the pool hall is not a good look.
