so is beer really bad for boxing?

[Salty]

Low carb beers have gotten a shitload better lately so that is an option, also girly drinks have bugger all carbs in them and they taste good. At a certain point however the alcohol is just converted directly into fat so just watch out for that if your a binge drinker.

The main reason I hate drinking is because I get major hangovers last last for a couple of days cus I dont drink regulaly which means I cant preform or get 100% out of my training and that really pissed me off so I prefer to not drink.

I agree, I share the same experience as you . I'd stay clear of alcohol when training.

Exactly, I've cut down but probably will have to cold turkey for some time before competing. I feel after a drinking session, my training for the next two days is just to get me back up to the level I was before, so I feel I basically lose half a week when training and drinking, 3 steps forward then 2 back.

I drank at 17 - 18.
Really bad idea.
Haven't drank since and won't either.

I don't drink although I don't mind Alcopops once in a while. I tried Vodka and Coke on holiday last week and that is fuckin disgusting

It's also very bad for recovery, your liver is pre-occupied with getting the poison out of your system when it should be repairing your body after training.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Well If you drink your kidneys and liver are busy filtering alcohol from your system.

Add that to boxers training and competition. The kidney and liver are meant to filter blood clots from bruising and clots which result from impact sports. If the kidneys and liver are too busy dealing with alcohol

Damn right Vodka and Coke don't go together, bourbon and Coke go together try Vodka and cranberry juice
