It is not, but you are claiming that it's the ONLY thing. That is FAR from the truth I am sorry. But I said play a sport not watch, ask the friends of yours to stop drinking with you and start a sport instead. Lets see how fast they turn on you? and if not then kudos you might have some decent friends.

Sorry you are unable to work on a car, I have a BA in Computers Electronics and Engineering so I like to tinker with that sort of stuff. I also like getting on the PC and researching. I also go out dancing with the wife, but we do not need to drink to have fun.

Like I said I am not trying to talk negative or criticize I only want to help you if you really wish to quit drinking.

Sorry for the typo's I am getting tired.

Live and let live...
I must agree with Kanoo though, allthough I don´t approve of using that language here.
I also go drinking on saturdays, once a week.
Does it set me back a great deal? Yes it does.
Is it worth it to me. Yes it is.
Do I care if my pecs are smaller because of that or I cant run that long or fast on mondays? Not in the least.
I don´t live for bodybuilding, I use it as a tool to feel better. I like having the weekly night out with friends and drinking. It also makes me feel better. Are these friends? A few of them really are, some are just people I hang out with, but is that a bad thing?
I do wanna state one drinking night doesnt set you back a whole week, it sets you back like one or two days, else I wouldn´t make progress since I do a drinking night once a week...
I can´t say I don´t approve drinking, I can´t say I advise against it, but you have to know it is bad for you, it isn´t healthy, it causes problems, but I find it rather fun and to me its worth it, and thats a decision people have to make for themselves.
Thats why I find Scoobys video great on it, it clearly states the disadvantages, and the setbacks you will have in bodybuilding. But I think he slightly exaggerates the disadvantages.
But to be fair:
IT IS POSSIBLE TO BUILD MUSCLE AND LOOSE WEIGHT AND HAVE ONE DRINKING NIGHT A WEEK.
It´s way easier and WAY faster  and WAY more effective and WAY more healthy to do it without the drinking night, but it is possible.

Well your day is friday, try doing workouts on saturday or sunday, they will be way less good then other days...I like doing mine on monday because i dont wanna waste 2 days, but they are way less good...

I see a bunch of teenagers growing up regretting their past. I won't preach this time, I have learned my lesson.

what i've learned is that the time we spend trying to persuade drinkers to stop drinking is way too long to actually be worth it. it's as simple as: they'll regret it, as time passes by.

A good life skill is to learn how to have fun while sober.  A group that is only good friends when drunk may not be the best friends you could choose.

Try this once, it can be entertaining and enlightening.  When you and your buddies go drinking, go with them but secretly pour yours out while no one is looking and just pretend to be drunk like they are.  Not only can this be very, very humorous but it can be very enlightening as well and you might find that once you see how people act when they are drunk you wont want to be part of it anymore.   It will be difficult at first when they are sober and alert but as your buddies get trashed it will be very easy to pour yours out.  Take swigs now and then so they know you are drinking, but just now and then, make sure 90% of your alcohol ends up in the plants and under the table.

Well said. +Karma

When I was single it was always:

"Weights Before Dates"

It was Way Cool to hit the Gym in the early evening, get showered and shaved.  Looking and smelling good.

Plus all the single ladies were at the gym.   

Imagine the Possibilities!
