it depends.. if you want max performance and maybe compete.. it's a major no no if not, it's alright to get some drinks with your buds once a week or twice a month.
I find i burn considerably more calories on a night out. To be fair, it’s usually from laughing at my own jokes and chasing after taxi cabs at the end of the night but a calorie burned is a calorie burned, right! 😆
Quit coffee and alcohol for 2 months.. havent felt that good in years... then had a beer on my birthday and am still trying to get back to zero alcohol 2 months later... smh... coffee also was cut out but it's been 4 months coffee free and sleep has never been better... need to kick the alcohol though... literally typing this after having poured a drink 2 minutes ago after finishing my leg day

@Calvin done a night out sober. Danced a bunch but I can tell you I wasnt as active whilst there as I was when drunk. Alcohol makes you restless and active at a club in a way being sober doesnt. Plus I left earlier. Works for some. But I'll drink once in a while and make up for it by enjoying myself whilst dancing.
You give us exactly the answers we need based on scientific research, and most importantly is that you cut to the chase. That's why I appreciatie your channel. That summary thing at the end is great by the way. Thanks!
Man I hate it when people say there is no effect. If you smoke near to bed it will reduce the time you spend in REM cycles which is the most restorative part of your sleep
It is pretty well known that it helps A LOT with sleep and eating, which are the two biggest things when it comes to muscle growth/recovery. So while Cannabis might not directly help building muscle (little to no research) , the secondary affects of its use definitely help.
The problem with cannabis and bodybuilding I think is the risk of binging. If you are on a cut and you smoke regularly you risk binging because when you are high and you eat it’s almost impossible to stop. If you are gonna smoke and do bodybuilding it’s probably better to do it while bulking
I quit alcohol for 7 months to achieve fitness goals. At 44 I hit a lifetime goal of 250lbs at 10% Body fat. Alcohol was one of the major keys in achieving this goal. Doing it again right now. Quitting alcohol in June, killing my diet and getting the best physique of my life at 45 in October.
I used to think this way. But now I realise drinking and having a good night with friends is more important to me than being 10% body fat. As long as you’re not overweight it should be good. Though, wish you the best of luck my friend
@@harrisonb9911 I'm not anymore. I'm around 235 lbs but around 13-14% now. Hard to maintain the size and body fat w/o sups. My friends who compete get down to 4-7% bodyfat.

Hey I’ve been watching your channel for about six months now. I’m a 50-year-old African-American guy who has recently developed a drinking problem. During the shut down last year I was on a force quarantine. I can only leave for one hour per day. I tried day drinking two or three matl liquors at 8.5 alcohol poor can. But it became inconvenient and people complained about my crazy drunken outbursts. So I decided to call turkey from alcohol and cigarettes and I was doing great for about seven months. Even after the quarantine was lifted I didn’t have the desire to smoke or drink. All the gyms were closed so I started doing a lot of bodyweight exercises and exercises using one 45 pound plate. I got this from Athleen X. And then I moved. After about two weeks I went back to my old bad habits of drinking beer and smoking. I started eating better and lost the desire to work out and got in pretty bad shape. I wasn’t working out at all. Then about a month or two ago I started working out again doing mostly dumbbell exercises I would 30 pounds weights. About once or twice a week I exceeded my limit and alcohol consumption. So basically I have a dad bod. I probably look about 10 years younger than I am but recently I’ve been wondering how much alcohol affects my work out. Thanks for this video because it gives me the facts on how my drinking is affecting my health. I hope that I will get to a point where my body will be so healthy that it will reject the cravings for my toxic habits.
I absolutely adore your content Jeff! Noone's doing what you're doing, as good as you're doing it. You've inspired me so much and have had a huge impact on my life. I wish you and Steph all the best my man! ✌
I appreciate the time and energy you put into this video on a subject that I don't think is covered a whole lot. A video I just found, that still holds up half a decade later!
Good news for girls, Have a bottle of wine then hit the gym ;P. I went to the gym after the pub at work ( mining camp) and ended up falling asleep between sets on the legpress after heavy squats lol..good times.
What I found in my alcohol research on myself that I think can help young people. Alcohol decreases testosterone for young or old, but when you’re young it’s not as clear to you because your metabolism is higher and you process the poison much quicker and because of that you keep your drinking habit going. Another big factor in lower testosterone levels is masterbatting which doesn’t get talked about enough to young people. If you want your love life and your life to get on the right track as a young person, don’t drink and abstain from masterbatting as much as you possibly can. Then, when you go out and meet people and see women, you’ll be like a country boy in the city for the first time. Your energy, hormones, enthusiasm will be at optimal levels so that you have the drive you need to act accordingly meaning to pursue someone of the opposite sex in order to fall in love and get laid. This goes for men or women. Try it young people and thank me later, good luck and happy living.
Great video. Something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I go on a mad one every Friday night, so I don’t train Friday (due to the reduced protein synthesis, worse sleep and therefore worse release of growth hormones) or Saturday (due to alcohol still being in the bloodstream and not well rested). I don’t drink any other day in the week though so although it isn’t optimal, it is a balance that works for me.
I actually end up burning a lot of calories when I’m out, so net calories consumed for the day probably isn’t horrific. The real question is, should I be adjusting my macros/nutrient timing if I’m gonna be getting mashed?

Thank you, I always freaked out having a few beers the night after a workout. And this said 7-9 drinks affected 37% , so I should be in the clear lol. I don't really like alcohol, just a social thing.
These videos are so incredibly executed! Your cadence of speech, combined with simplified visuals really allows for an enjoyable learning experience. I’m still gonna drink heavy all weekend 🤦🏻♂️
It is not only dietry fat that will create excess fat storage due to alcohol. The pathways for dietry carbs are exaggerated in exactly the same way and will create fat storage in almost the same way.
I use to be 215 lbs , 11% bf at 5ft 8 when I was bodybuilding. Never drank alcohol and had zero desire for it. When I turned 24 I started going out with friends and socially drinking. That turned into 4+ nights a week. I’m 28 now with a good amount of muscle and 20% body fat at 225 lbs. I cut out alcohol 1 month ago and back to my old routine and the muscle memory is amazing… just gotta burn off about 20-25 lbs of fat and hopefully stick with my diet again
Drinking straight vodka, eating some stir fry or grilled chicken here or there, and working out has worked for me so far. So lets get this right, eat you a Lil healthy small meal of grilled chicken and/or veggie in the morning, or for lunch (depending when you work, ect...) work out after you get out of work and then drink at the end of your day, don't eat and get some sleep. Thank you for coming to my TED talk
I've learnt something different that nets the same result: rather than alcohol being burned (since it's no macronutrient, there is no energy to be used by the body), it is processed in the liver: ethanol is metabolised into ethanal, which is acutally more poisonous than ethanol, so ethanal is then quickly metabolised into acetic acid. For each of this steps NADH is required, and your body can temporarily run out of NADH when there is too much alcohol. NADH is also required for the citric acid cycle. Lack of NADH means the citric acid cycle is paused, so the body resorts to other means of processing glucose and fatty acids, mainly storage in the shape of fat. This is the theory I've learnt, but it might be wrong. Which do you think is correct?
I did an experiment I drank 12x Budweiser beers pre-workout and 2x shots of Vodka post workout. I did this for 3 days and now I am 400lbs 1% body fat at age 100. Amazing.
Thank you for that suggestion. I am a fan of gin and cider. I had a very depressing day and I cant wind down without a little bit of it. I am on a cutting plan. I still lost body fat with 3 drinks a week. Doing reasonably well with the training. I am not a great eater and I don't unduly worry. Love running and weights. Best of luck on your training.
Utilizing the structure of the video and the studies linked for a Causal Analysis Essay on protein synthesis being affected by alcohol consumption that I have to write today, you're the man!
Michelle Cox Photography yeah, I noticed that fasting for like 16 hours straight is great for you after binge drinking and doing this for like 2 days can really cleanse the system and prevent some of the many alcohol terrible effects, like swollen face. Consuming small portions of protein and good-fat (eggs) foods following fast also helps. BTW, I wasn’t fasting intentionally, it happened naturally.
I was always a problem drinker, used it to help me, I was shy as hell, but turned into a very bad habit,well 25 years and 3 rehabs later, my knee goes out, I could barely walk, so I start climbing these local staircase that people use to exercise, my knee gets better,then I add a few push ups and sit-ups etc, as long as I’m there, I try pull ups, can’t do any, I still drank wayyy too much, I would have to start from scratch with my exercise, so that made me drink less days, eventually my calisthenics took over more and drank less and less, now I don’t drink at all,calisthenics every day , best thing ever happened to me, so all those rehabs, group meetings, all that stuff to help me quit drinking, didn’t click for me, but if it helps you go for it, but calisthenics somehow showed me a new way.thank you for ur time,maybe this can help somebody, oh I can do 3 clean pull ups on a good day now, flex hang about 15 sec , chin above the bar ,Peace!
theconman1395 stress raises cortisol which signals the body to retain water. Partying lowers cortisol as per nippard et al 2018 and a rapid drop in cortisol can release retained water. Hence the whoosh
I think he is talking about the diuretic effect of alcohol. Since fat cells are resilient to rapidly decrease in size, they often compensate by drawing water. That means if you've been dieting for a while and drink alcohol, you will force that water out of the cells, resulting in an agressive body weight drop and most likely looking shredded the next morning... That is what Swoosh in Body Fat means..
Well, as they say, all things in moderation. A drink here or there isn't likely to do harm. In fact, I think it can have a positive impact psychologically, especially if you're a student and/or parent. This in turn can improve overall performance in training and dieting. So, basically have yourself a nice cold one every now and then.
I've been back at the gym for 6 weeks and this is the first time I've completely avoided alcohol the whole time. I'm now lifting around the same or slightly more than I was after a 6 month period last time I was working out with drinking 2 or 3 times a week. Yes some of this will be muscle memory but in terms of recovery and never seeing a random dip in performance the difference has been insane, I've also put on pretty much no fat despite bulking with my diet.
So if I was to not drink all week other than on a day where it’s followed by a rest day so if I drink Saturday night (8-10) drinks and rest the day after would that kill my gains and heavily reduce testosterone? Or would it be equivalent to the 2 drinks in moderation a day ?
" 2-3 standard drinks has been shown to BOOST Testosterone by ~17% in Men " ~ 4:56 + Libido - affects on Muscle Anabolism (~degradation) + " 45% LOWER Testosterone in DRUNK Men compared to sober controls" ~ 5:16 + " 5 fold HIGHER Testosterone in DRUNK Women" ~ 5:31
My n=1 on alcohol.. I’ve always found that the day after in a hangover, once I get coffee in me, I have some pretty great workouts, more often than not. It’s weird, i don’t know how, but I’m not complaining.. Side notes though, I’d heard that alcohol consumption, for those on a keto diet, have been found to increase ketones the day after drinking (and by drinking, to say purely spirits and calorie free mixers) Which also makes me question: if you were to consume only spirits where there are no carbs, surely the net energy balance would be even since the alcohol is burned straight away? Hell, maybe even a deficit if you hit up the floor after some lines of coke, amirite?! But seriously though, Jeff, if you’re reading this, help a brother out x
soldierside365 Really? I’ve heard/read that the liver does not produce ketones while it’s dealing with alcohol and that’s why one is more likely to feel shitty the morning after even moderate drinking (say, 2 glasses of dry wine). Certainly been my experience. I just went off keto after 8 month (partly) because in summer I want to be able to do a bit of casual ‚social drinking‘ and that just didn’t work for me on keto at all. My ketones were always super low in the morning if I had any alcohol at all the night before. And I’m not that carb sensitive...so I don’t think that little bit of sugar from the wine was the issue.
Rara Avis interesting.. genuinely. Completely contrary to my own experience as I, as a rule, am barely hungry the day after drinking.. long story short, JEFF HURRY UP AND HELP US WHY WE SO DIFFRUNT PLZ?!?!
Jeff: Idea for another video: Is there actually a difference in the carbs of brown rice, white potatoes, sweet potatoes? A lot of bodybuilders want to do the best of the best, but in some cultures Specific foods might be way more expensive. Bro-science out there might cause aspiring bodybuilders to buy stuff that is expensive in their country, while there are dirt-cheap alternatives.
When I hear phrases like "mainstream scientific discourse" it makes me so happy! Wish I could squeeze this in in a normal conversation with my friends LOL
Jeff, can you do a video on nicotine and it’s effect on fat loss, hypertrophy, etc. I vape and I have been for awhile now and I’d like to know if there’s any negative or positive effects.
Vaping will slightly increase your red blood cell count. Which is good. I know alot of bodybuilders that vape or smoke. I would suggest that if you are going to use nicotine vaping, it would be the way to go. That's how I understand it.
i do low cal aka modafied keto. i will eat less then 100 carbs in a day on average a lot of days less then 50 or 30. do most of that eating around 4pm then i start drinking several drinks keeping my self feeling good till i fall asleep around 11pm to 1 am. during that time i will have a slice of cheese and a hot dog and possable a small small cookie . the liqure i drink us most of the time herbal liqure 30%abv or spiced rum 35 to 50% abv. usley i end up drinking less then i would say 300ml of liqure spred out in the time. week ends i drink all day starting at around noon. i have ben doing this for like 3 months now and i have lost waight i feel more energetic. my back pain and other problumes i have had have got better. i no longer have to take a laxative every day blood pressure meds everday or a anacid everyday. i also drink a min of 1 gal of water a day and limit my soda to 2 cans of diet if i have any at all. what has this got to do with the video . well a lot. you talk about how things afect people and well from what i see is simuler to what you sed about how if you do not eat high fat foods after drinking and do not eat much before and watch your intake and spread things out its possable to loose waight and feel good and be healthy. now i am not saying this will work for everyone. but i do not from my famileys history and friends that a lot of people have ben drunks that drank all day to feel good but not be to drunk to do things and they ate little and lives long long lives some up to 100 years old. i also did research on what i drink and found rum spiced being the best with 35% abv is the safist you can drink and may in fact be healthy. some of this research was dun buy hering people who have lived long full lives say all they drank was rum all the time spiced rum and white rum and they never had many troubles. most of them wear people who live in the islands wear they make the rum.
Helpful video, i am currently dieting pretty hard around 1,000 calories a day, sometimes lower, with fasting between 6:30PM & 12PM each day. Its pretty tough, but i am coming from a position of obesity. While i try to avoid drinking as much as i can especially 'incidental' alcohol drinking (such as a beer with dinner). Every now and again i need to get lit up. Yes you gain weight back, especially if you get some mcdonalds afterwards. But the reality is for me at least that 2-3 days of good habits will return my weight to pre-night out. Its a trade off. Sometimes when you're looking at heavy weightloss you need to cut loose. I've lost about 10kg over the last two months and 16kg overall. Sustainability is key, an earlier diet i tried (plant based and low calorie) was too tough for me so i gave up for a few weeks and had to start again. A few big nights out, the odd slice of pizza, a big meal at a restaurant with family. Yes you'll gain weight, but as long as you get right back on the horse and be dilligent you'll return to pre-indulgence within only a few days. Big numbers weight-loss is a long term thing that is tough. Trust me, this isnt my first rodeo! I went from 130kg to 65kg back in 2011 and kept it off for 8 years before it crept back on over the last 2-3. Yall can do it!
Great video as usual Jeff! Can you please do a video on the diff btwn building muscle when your young compared to older. I read that if you start in your early twenties you get results a lot faster than when you start at a later age. Thank you :)
My appetite is almost non-existing the next day if I have more than 3 beers (or drinks). This is something I also see with my friends, the hangover seems to affect appetite in some people.
Hey Jeff, great video! big fan here! I wanted to suggest the effects of nicotine on muscle building and nutrient delivery for a future Myth Bust Monday video. Maybe covering the differences between multiple nicotine delivery systems, i.e. cigarettes, vaping, patches, gum. How does it affect the body, pre vs post workout? Are the vaso-restrictive properties enough to create catabolic effects? Do non-smoking delivery methods affect cardiovascular health? I've always been curious about this. Thanks for the great content!
From experience I've tried hitting the gym hard while I drink pretty heavy and nope you just don't have the same energy levels "hangover" and beer put on too much fat sure I was strong af but if your trying to be lean and have that hard look stay away from beer!
Incredible video. I am just to embark on a weight loss diet and exercise regime but do enjoy a whiskey. This tells me all I need to know.. Got to stop if I want to achieve my goals..
Great video Jeff! I really like how you don’t feel like it always has to be a myth bust. I would be interested to see how you plan around a drinking day, both from a training and diet perspective.
What is alcohol? Is it beer or cocktail with coke? What about 1 oz of whiskey or rum or brandy on ice? What about vodka? Considering vodka is made from potatoes, what is the correlation of potato & vodka in terms of calories? How is a sweet wine compared to a coke, in terms of sugar & calories?
This is a different story.. I'm 17. About 18 in 4 months. I know I'm mad young to be drinkin lots or be drinking period. But. It's hard to stop drinking due to my addiction and my anxiety and social change in myself. I want to lose weight but it's hard to stop drinking and it's so easy for me to access or get alcohol. I'm sad and sitting at 200. I am chubby and want to lose weight but i struggle and have my withdrawals.. and drink alot.. i want to change that and i want to lose weight fast or as soon as i can. Really worried and just scared and stressed. Unhappy aith myself and i feel fat and hate how i look. I searched up everything. But it's hard to stop my addiction and i want to be better and skinnier. Really scared and struggling and have a personal struggle to manage drinking alcohol very often
I know a guy who used to make his morning protein shakes using vodka as the liquid. LOL -- Booze increases estrogen in women too. That's why some women should limit it, if they have too much estrogen already...or have estrogen based breast cancer.
What do you guys think? Alcohol and fitness: Yes or no?
Jeff Nippard finally i got first like and comment:D
No for sure - if you want to make any progress. Consuming alcohol regularily just reverses all the work you've put in.
No...they don't go together
Yes
it depends.. if you want max performance and maybe compete.. it's a major no no
if not, it's alright to get some drinks with your buds once a week or twice a month.
Whenever I go out drinking I make sure to skip lunch and dinner and just mix a scoop of protein powder in each pint

What about alcohol's ability to make you dance hard for five hours straight? Doesn't that compensate? Hahahahahaha
easy way to hit the deficit ;)
Last weekend i danced 16000 steps according to my fitbit past 12 oclock. Think i was fine with the deficit.
@Calvin done a night out sober. Danced a bunch but I can tell you I wasnt as active whilst there as I was when drunk. Alcohol makes you restless and active at a club in a way being sober doesnt. Plus I left earlier.
Works for some. But I'll drink once in a while and make up for it by enjoying myself whilst dancing.

High quality content with references , awesome job man. Hope more people get to see your videos
ABSOLUTELY LOVE that he shows us that he did his research.thanks Jeff!
That summary slide is money! Just solidified all the good knowledge I just gained, even mo' betta.
I stoped. It was hard. I don't look back.
boom! the best way really
Good for you man.
Nice man good job
uhh i drink beer like once a week i just do dumbbells at home not gym bro
Hell yeah dude
Finally a good video with studies & research, instead of just "personal opinion". Very great content !!
These videos are so incredibly executed! Your cadence of speech, combined with simplified visuals really allows for an enjoyable learning experience.
I’m still gonna drink heavy all weekend 🤦🏻♂️
James McMonagle appreciate it man. Lol enjoy yourself!
It is not only dietry fat that will create excess fat storage due to alcohol. The pathways for dietry carbs are exaggerated in exactly the same way and will create fat storage in almost the same way.
I use to be 215 lbs , 11% bf at 5ft 8 when I was bodybuilding. Never drank alcohol and had zero desire for it. When I turned 24 I started going out with friends and socially drinking. That turned into 4+ nights a week. I’m 28 now with a good amount of muscle and 20% body fat at 225 lbs. I cut out alcohol 1 month ago and back to my old routine and the muscle memory is amazing… just gotta burn off about 20-25 lbs of fat and hopefully stick with my diet again
Thank you for have accurate and non click bait titles. Love it and your videos.
Drinking straight vodka, eating some stir fry or grilled chicken here or there, and working out has worked for me so far. So lets get this right, eat you a Lil healthy small meal of grilled chicken and/or veggie in the morning, or for lunch (depending when you work, ect...) work out after you get out of work and then drink at the end of your day, don't eat and get some sleep. Thank you for coming to my TED talk
bro why would i drink and not eat? eating the best part about drinking
Are you able to lose fat doing this ?
@@evschirm if you drink and barley eat sure thing.... but drinking and eating slows the fat loss and muscle building process down
Content creators like Jeff who can combine the entertainment and educational aspect are scarce these days. Keep it up man!
Could the "swoosh" of lost body weight after a night of drinking simply be caused by dehydration?
I've learnt something different that nets the same result: rather than alcohol being burned (since it's no macronutrient, there is no energy to be used by the body), it is processed in the liver: ethanol is metabolised into ethanal, which is acutally more poisonous than ethanol, so ethanal is then quickly metabolised into acetic acid. For each of this steps NADH is required, and your body can temporarily run out of NADH when there is too much alcohol. NADH is also required for the citric acid cycle. Lack of NADH means the citric acid cycle is paused, so the body resorts to other means of processing glucose and fatty acids, mainly storage in the shape of fat.
This is the theory I've learnt, but it might be wrong. Which do you think is correct?
Can you make a video about blood flow restriction?

I did an experiment I drank 12x Budweiser beers pre-workout and 2x shots of Vodka post workout. I did this for 3 days and now I am 400lbs 1% body fat at age 100. Amazing.
😂😂😂😂
post drinking food binge is my fav part of drinking LOL

Just eat at maintenance once you’re at a healthy weight
Yup them drunk tacos at jack in the box at 2am be hittin
How often do you mean “a recurring thing” once a week, multiple times a week, or daily?
Thank you for that suggestion. I am a fan of gin and cider. I had a very depressing day and I cant wind down without a little bit of it. I am on a cutting plan. I still lost body fat with 3 drinks a week. Doing reasonably well with the training. I am not a great eater and I don't unduly worry. Love running and weights. Best of luck on your training.
It’s the beer and sugary alcoholic drinks that blow me up. Straight whiskey 🥃 and chase it with water 💧
The Agoge diet is probably the best diet for getting more muscle. I struggled for so long until I started following it.
Just got the diet emailed to me, looks good
Very good video. Informative, but straight to the point and not boring
Ohhhh got us with the classic PictureFit answer!

All super interesting! I don't drink too much but I know that it's the binge that is worse for me then the actual alcohol.
Michelle Cox Photography yeah, I noticed that fasting for like 16 hours straight is great for you after binge drinking and doing this for like 2 days can really cleanse the system and prevent some of the many alcohol terrible effects, like swollen face. Consuming small portions of protein and good-fat (eggs) foods following fast also helps. BTW, I wasn’t fasting intentionally, it happened naturally.
Let's drink together
This was all very helpful. I was surprised to come across a focussed video on this subject and as always you delivered this very well. 👍🏼
I was always a problem drinker, used it to help me, I was shy as hell, but turned into a very bad habit,well 25 years and 3 rehabs later, my knee goes out, I could barely walk, so I start climbing these local staircase that people use to exercise, my knee gets better,then I add a few push ups and sit-ups etc, as long as I’m there, I try pull ups, can’t do any, I still drank wayyy too much, I would have to start from scratch with my exercise, so that made me drink less days, eventually my calisthenics took over more and drank less and less, now I don’t drink at all,calisthenics every day , best thing ever happened to me, so all those rehabs, group meetings, all that stuff to help me quit drinking, didn’t click for me, but if it helps you go for it, but calisthenics somehow showed me a new way.thank you for ur time,maybe this can help somebody, oh I can do 3 clean pull ups on a good day now, flex hang about 15 sec , chin above the bar ,Peace!
Scientifically Explained: What a Swoosh in Body Fat Means
theconman1395 stress raises cortisol which signals the body to retain water. Partying lowers cortisol as per nippard et al 2018 and a rapid drop in cortisol can release retained water. Hence the whoosh
Eitan Ben Dor I'm an exercise science major who has done research in metabolism and childhood obesity, so I'm aware... But if you don't get the joke 🙃
I think he is talking about the diuretic effect of alcohol. Since fat cells are resilient to rapidly decrease in size, they often compensate by drawing water. That means if you've been dieting for a while and drink alcohol, you will force that water out of the cells, resulting in an agressive body weight drop and most likely looking shredded the next morning... That is what Swoosh in Body Fat means..
Nippard et al lol 🤣
@Andreea Palici In simple terms, yes 😅
Thanks for the video Jeff! One topic I really wanted you to touch base on. Keep the good work!
Well, as they say, all things in moderation. A drink here or there isn't likely to do harm. In fact, I think it can have a positive impact psychologically, especially if you're a student and/or parent. This in turn can improve overall performance in training and dieting.
So, basically have yourself a nice cold one every now and then.
Intro is a sample of my great grandma’s jam! Smokey Robison song “much better off” I love it!
Alcohol is a poison not a nutrient. If there wasn’t a social construct and acceptance of alcohol this wouldn’t be a conversation
Thanks mom
Well researched & well presented. I also like the "summary screen". A nice added touch.
I've been back at the gym for 6 weeks and this is the first time I've completely avoided alcohol the whole time. I'm now lifting around the same or slightly more than I was after a 6 month period last time I was working out with drinking 2 or 3 times a week. Yes some of this will be muscle memory but in terms of recovery and never seeing a random dip in performance the difference has been insane, I've also put on pretty much no fat despite bulking with my diet.
These videos are incredibly fantastic. One of the best channels on youtube.
So if I was to not drink all week other than on a day where it’s followed by a rest day so if I drink Saturday night (8-10) drinks and rest the day after would that kill my gains and heavily reduce testosterone? Or would it be equivalent to the 2 drinks in moderation a day ?
I need to quit drinking. I never drink to get drunk, just to stave off the withdrawal symptoms when I don't drink sigh. Great video.
hope you checked into rehab or are planning to soon!

My n=1 on alcohol..
I’ve always found that the day after in a hangover, once I get coffee in me, I have some pretty great workouts, more often than not. It’s weird, i don’t know how, but I’m not complaining..
Side notes though, I’d heard that alcohol consumption, for those on a keto diet, have been found to increase ketones the day after drinking (and by drinking, to say purely spirits and calorie free mixers)
Which also makes me question: if you were to consume only spirits where there are no carbs, surely the net energy balance would be even since the alcohol is burned straight away? Hell, maybe even a deficit if you hit up the floor after some lines of coke, amirite?! But seriously though, Jeff, if you’re reading this, help a brother out x
soldierside365
Really? I’ve heard/read that the liver does not produce ketones while it’s dealing with alcohol and that’s why one is more likely to feel shitty the morning after even moderate drinking (say, 2 glasses of dry wine).
Certainly been my experience. I just went off keto after 8 month (partly) because in summer I want to be able to do a bit of casual ‚social drinking‘ and that just didn’t work for me on keto at all. My ketones were always super low in the morning if I had any alcohol at all the night before. And I’m not that carb sensitive...so I don’t think that little bit of sugar from the wine was the issue.
ive hit several PR's the day after in my time... no idea why
Rara Avis interesting.. genuinely. Completely contrary to my own experience as I, as a rule, am barely hungry the day after drinking.. long story short,
JEFF HURRY UP AND HELP US WHY WE SO DIFFRUNT PLZ?!?!
I look the best after a day of drinking, full and lean... until all the water comes back. 🤣
Jeff: Idea for another video: Is there actually a difference in the carbs of brown rice, white potatoes, sweet potatoes?
A lot of bodybuilders want to do the best of the best, but in some cultures Specific foods might be way more expensive. Bro-science out there might cause aspiring bodybuilders to buy stuff that is expensive in their country, while there are dirt-cheap alternatives.
Love the summary at the end! Need more content dude!
❤
I just wanna get shwacked and stacked at the same time.
Amen brother 🤣🤣
omg this was so helpful! a myth i was always curius about. thank you jeff
When I hear phrases like "mainstream scientific discourse" it makes me so happy! Wish I could squeeze this in in a normal conversation with my friends LOL
Really impressed with all of your videos. Thank you a lot for the information!
Jeff, can you do a video on nicotine and it’s effect on fat loss, hypertrophy, etc. I vape and I have been for awhile now and I’d like to know if there’s any negative or positive effects.
Nicotine is like caffeine, smoke cigars instead of cigarettes
Vaping will slightly increase your red blood cell count. Which is good. I know alot of bodybuilders that vape or smoke. I would suggest that if you are going to use nicotine vaping, it would be the way to go. That's how I understand it.
i do low cal aka modafied keto. i will eat less then 100 carbs in a day on average a lot of days less then 50 or 30. do most of that eating around 4pm then i start drinking several drinks keeping my self feeling good till i fall asleep around 11pm to 1 am. during that time i will have a slice of cheese and a hot dog and possable a small small cookie . the liqure i drink us most of the time herbal liqure 30%abv or spiced rum 35 to 50% abv. usley i end up drinking less then i would say 300ml of liqure spred out in the time. week ends i drink all day starting at around noon. i have ben doing this for like 3 months now and i have lost waight i feel more energetic. my back pain and other problumes i have had have got better. i no longer have to take a laxative every day blood pressure meds everday or a anacid everyday. i also drink a min of 1 gal of water a day and limit my soda to 2 cans of diet if i have any at all. what has this got to do with the video . well a lot. you talk about how things afect people and well from what i see is simuler to what you sed about how if you do not eat high fat foods after drinking and do not eat much before and watch your intake and spread things out its possable to loose waight and feel good and be healthy. now i am not saying this will work for everyone. but i do not from my famileys history and friends that a lot of people have ben drunks that drank all day to feel good but not be to drunk to do things and they ate little and lives long long lives some up to 100 years old. i also did research on what i drink and found rum spiced being the best with 35% abv is the safist you can drink and may in fact be healthy. some of this research was dun buy hering people who have lived long full lives say all they drank was rum all the time spiced rum and white rum and they never had many troubles. most of them wear people who live in the islands wear they make the rum.
Helpful video, i am currently dieting pretty hard around 1,000 calories a day, sometimes lower, with fasting between 6:30PM & 12PM each day. Its pretty tough, but i am coming from a position of obesity. While i try to avoid drinking as much as i can especially 'incidental' alcohol drinking (such as a beer with dinner). Every now and again i need to get lit up. Yes you gain weight back, especially if you get some mcdonalds afterwards. But the reality is for me at least that 2-3 days of good habits will return my weight to pre-night out. Its a trade off. Sometimes when you're looking at heavy weightloss you need to cut loose. I've lost about 10kg over the last two months and 16kg overall. Sustainability is key, an earlier diet i tried (plant based and low calorie) was too tough for me so i gave up for a few weeks and had to start again. A few big nights out, the odd slice of pizza, a big meal at a restaurant with family. Yes you'll gain weight, but as long as you get right back on the horse and be dilligent you'll return to pre-indulgence within only a few days. Big numbers weight-loss is a long term thing that is tough. Trust me, this isnt my first rodeo! I went from 130kg to 65kg back in 2011 and kept it off for 8 years before it crept back on over the last 2-3. Yall can do it!
Your videos are great Jeff, you always seem to knock up the quality with each and every vid. Keep up the good work man! :)
All in a healthy lifestyle balance imo, once a month is okay for me
This is the way
Bro the music you play in the back ground of your videos rock. Smooth!
"From a muscle building perspective, you want to be as high as possible" - Nippard, Jeff (5:55)
“You want IT to be as high as possible” is what he says
@@Hvidbergen i know....
Great video as usual Jeff! Can you please do a video on the diff btwn building muscle when your young compared to older. I read that if you start in your early twenties you get results a lot faster than when you start at a later age. Thank you :)
Can you do one about cannabis and performance/body comp?
Eugene Poon that will be amazing
Great for bulking and muscle soreness, boosted recovery lol
Always enjoy your variety of content Mr.Nippard.
Does fitness activites affect your weekly (sometimes daily) heavy drinking ?
My appetite is almost non-existing the next day if I have more than 3 beers (or drinks). This is something I also see with my friends, the hangover seems to affect appetite in some people.
Hey Jeff, great video! big fan here! I wanted to suggest the effects of nicotine on muscle building and nutrient delivery for a future Myth Bust Monday video. Maybe covering the differences between multiple nicotine delivery systems, i.e. cigarettes, vaping, patches, gum. How does it affect the body, pre vs post workout? Are the vaso-restrictive properties enough to create catabolic effects? Do non-smoking delivery methods affect cardiovascular health?
I've always been curious about this. Thanks for the great content!
Such a nice vid to kick back to and enjoy on my lunch break, thanks Jeff.
From experience I've tried hitting the gym hard while I drink pretty heavy and nope you just don't have the same energy levels "hangover" and beer put on too much fat sure I was strong af but if your trying to be lean and have that hard look stay away from beer!
Incredible video. I am just to embark on a weight loss diet and exercise regime but do enjoy a whiskey. This tells me all I need to know.. Got to stop if I want to achieve my goals..
Jeff darling, could you sit with your lovely Stephanie talking about how weight can be affected on Contraceptive Pills?
xo
Thanks for breaking it down 👍🏼 another great video
Great video Jeff! I really like how you don’t feel like it always has to be a myth bust. I would be interested to see how you plan around a drinking day, both from a training and diet perspective.
What is alcohol? Is it beer or cocktail with coke? What about 1 oz of whiskey or rum or brandy on ice? What about vodka? Considering vodka is made from potatoes, what is the correlation of potato & vodka in terms of calories? How is a sweet wine compared to a coke, in terms of sugar & calories?
This is a different story.. I'm 17. About 18 in 4 months. I know I'm mad young to be drinkin lots or be drinking period. But. It's hard to stop drinking due to my addiction and my anxiety and social change in myself. I want to lose weight but it's hard to stop drinking and it's so easy for me to access or get alcohol. I'm sad and sitting at 200. I am chubby and want to lose weight but i struggle and have my withdrawals.. and drink alot.. i want to change that and i want to lose weight fast or as soon as i can. Really worried and just scared and stressed. Unhappy aith myself and i feel fat and hate how i look. I searched up everything. But it's hard to stop my addiction and i want to be better and skinnier. Really scared and struggling and have a personal struggle to manage drinking alcohol very often
My best advice smoke weed and work out cut the liquor
I know a guy who used to make his morning protein shakes using vodka as the liquid. LOL -- Booze increases estrogen in women too. That's why some women should limit it, if they have too much estrogen already...or have estrogen based breast cancer.
Proudly 11 days sober
The practical takeaways slide at the end was a huge improvement to these vids
Just in time for summer 😍
Amazing video. So much useful info in a short period of time
Your content is out of this world, Jeff. Well done.
Hey Jeff love all your vids man! You should consider making a myth busted video on water intake leading to weight gain
