First of all, the fact is that alcohol has a lot of unnecessary calories, about 7 per gramu (recall, carbohydrates and proteins have about 4, and 9 fats - meaning alcohol is the second, immediately after the fat). Unlike other elements of food, alcohol provides energy only, and nothing more.
Here we will not talk about things generally why alcohol is bad, but to concentrate on one "bodybuilderske".

Alcohol and Bodybuilding

First, the so-called alcohol. "Empty" calories (calories without gradivnih elements), and as such added to the total energy entering the body, the surplus energy, which is then converted into fatty deposits.
Furthermore, drinking alcohol often causes that we are less careful to eat when you drink - just in the intoxicated state of us "not care" what eat, and often "drunk" eat greasy food, not referring to the amount of calories you enter.
Furthermore, alcohol and dehidrira razgrađuju proteins from muscle, and thus we have a need for more food.
Alcohol also lowers levels of testosterone, a very important hormone for building muscle and loss of fat cells.

Simple: if you want a good body, do not drink.

Ok, moderately of course - and all ok.

If you must drink, drink red wine because it has some useful things and food, such as various antioxidants. Furthermore, avoid ****tails that are in addition to the abundant energy from alcohol, and full of sugar, which further increases the energy input, raises glikemički index and cause even greater weight gain.
glass of wine from time to time, is ok. Even Plato said: "Wine is the best medicine for body and soul." But not for bodybuilding body type.
