I cut my drinking down to almost nothing these days... I remember my first cycle ever was my first year in college I went from 140 to around 185 in about 6 months and was about 10% bf... shortly after we partied all summer and most of my gains and hard work were gone... I still was in the gym everyday but would be drinking and partying every night. alcohol and BB don't mix. a can of beer is about 143 calories and when you down a case of them in a night that's over 3,400 calories... they just don't mix...
