Nightclubs and alcohol effect on

[Derranged]

I try to avoid getting drunk if I have to train the next day.

If you want to have optimal performance...dont put anything bad in your body. Not even second hand smoke found in clubs. I know its a drag but your boxing career will be as serous as you make it. Some is out there doing all they can to destroy you in the ring. I recommend you do the same. Thats My opinion! If you chose to get in them ropes!

There's no second hand smoke in Quebec because you can't smoke inside a public restaurant,club or any facilities except your home...

Ok guys, first of all, I would like to clarify my situation, I'm not a boxer, I love to watch the sweet science, but I practice track and field. I'm one of Quebec fastest runner on 100 and 200 meters and Top 10 Canada wide for my age range..

I never had a problem of drinking,because I wasn't 18 years old, I was sober for all my summer season. Now that I'm 18, I can go to nightclubs and drink beer ''legally'', do you think it can affect my performance, let's say I go to club one time per week or two weeks and drink water or if I drink beer once a month??

Thanks for your advice gentlemen

If you're top 10 like you say you are, I wouldn't drink or go to clubs. You have all the time in the world to party and drink after you're done with track and field.

I'm Sebastien Sevigny, competed against 1 year older, I'm 11th on this,but there's a Korean dude who's not canadian, so he doesn't count in the standing. Anyways, thanks a lot guys for ur advice

[Ogecca MaMa]

once a week ? yeah this will effect you.

i drink like once in 2-3 months, whenever I come back from tournaments with my team.

i'd say you can party and everything, as long as its really rare and you keep practicing hard.

[ReadyUp]

While your training, stay out the clubs.

This is my biggest vice by far. I love to be out socializing and drinking but it kills me when I'm training. I feel far worse throughout the day. I've been to the whole "club drinking water" thing. Just me being there and being in that enviornment still made me feel like I was drinking. It sounds ****** but that's just me.

The thing about drinking is it always leads to more eating. After drinking/club, we'll usually thrash carne asada nachos/fries, dennys, etc. Last saturday we found a chinese resturant that closed at 3, big mistake.

I usually weigh myself when I get home to find that I gained almost 6lbs. By morning ill lose about 2, and try to piss the rest out. But during the first couple of days of the week Im trying to run it off.

Its definitely not good going out if youre trying to maintain or cut weight

Carne asada fries! You must be from Cali.

I agree with the drinking leads to those late night dining. The people you go out and party don't need to watch what they're eatting/drinking, so you end up doing the same.

[mrboxer]

stay away from the beer,if you are a runner it will dehydrate you,

Uh, drinking once a month is just fine, you will not notice any difference, that's nothing.

Really the key is not to get drunk! I really enjoy wine, beer and spirits, but I don't enjoy getting wasted and drunk. That's no fun, and if you do that it will effect you - but only the day after. But if you were to make a habit of it, in otherwords live a lifestyle of going out and drinking and partying it will effect your health and fitness, even if you're stone cold sober when you do your athletic work.

I reccommend doing what I do, have drink or two with a meal and enjoy it that way. If you go out to a club, just take a long time to have 1 drink. That will not effect you at all (as long as you get a regular night's sleep) - even if you had to run the next day. Small amounts of alcohol are actually healthy for you. It's only after a few drinks when the drunkeness sets in that its bad for your systems.
