Summary

Dr. Jakob Vingren is an associate professor of Exercise Physiology and Biological Sciences at the University of North Texas. His research focus includes resistance exercise and the effect of alcohol on hormones, muscles and athletic performance.

Alcohol affects training, but turns out it’s not as bad as you might think.

In this episode, you will learn about the effects of drinking alcohol in terms of quantity, frequency, timing (before, during, and after workouts), type, and more. We dive into how alcohol affects the androgen system, immune system, muscle recovery, and short and long-term gains.

0:00.0	So a lot of people, once they get out of their 20s and the 30s and 40s, you know, they drink
0:04.4	three or four beers and they wake up next day and they're like, man, I didn't just feel like this,
0:07.3	like I'm so over this, we never want to happen in college. Have you found differences with
0:12.4	different age groups? Like younger people tend to tolerate alcohol better than older people with
0:16.0	relative... We haven't looked at that. What's probably going on is also as you age, you probably don't
0:21.0	drink as often. So just like with exercise, if you go do, you know, deadlifts every two weeks,
0:25.8	you're going to be sore every two weeks, right? But if you deadlifts, you know, three, four times a
0:30.0	week, remember that's a little over the top, but you're not going to get a sore. So it's probably
0:34.0	the same thing that you're, because part of you adapt to drinking alcohol, you live or adapt to
0:38.5	drinking alcohol, you know, increases alcohol, dehydrogenous, etc. So it's probably a training effect,

1:26.7	It's a vice-priority. I don't unless you watch a sudden one, don't go do that. And yeah, we got
1:32.2	kicked out of the NSEA conference. Again. No. The Expo Hall shut down, so we have a vacate run
1:39.3	up here to the hotel room, have some beers, and we're here with Jacob Vingran, and we're going to
1:46.2	talk about the effect of booze on training. It seems to be a big question. So should I be drinking?
1:53.1	Do you feel guilty when you drink? Should we, Jacob, should we feel guilty about drinking after we
1:57.9	drink? What? Weekends? Should I get smashed? Well, should we? Well, maybe not get smashed, but I think
2:04.1	the evidence shows that you can have some alcohol. It really comes down to when do you drink, how much
2:09.9	do you drink? What do you drink? And so how do you drink relative to when your workout is,
2:14.4	what's before, after, during all those different things really matter and fit into what are the
