Such behaviour may increase the athlete ' s risk of alcoholrelated illness and other harm while also detrimentally altering normal endocrine and immune function . Particularly important for males , in both athletic and general populations , is the reduced production of testosterone and subsequent effect on body composition , protein synthesis and muscular adaptationregeneration these effects are likely to inhibit recovery and adaptation to exercise . Low doses of alcohol , approximately 0 . 5 gkg BW , postexercise are unlikely to be detrimental to repletion of glycogen , rehydration and muscle injury however , the effects of alcohol are depen dent on the timing of consumption , nutritional status and the priority given to optimal rates of recovery . Higher doses , around 1 gkg BW , should be avoided if injury to skeletal muscle has occurred . While very high , hazardous doses of alcohol consumed after strenuous exercise may not directly impact performance in the days after exercise , such bingeing behaviour is associated with longterm physical , psychological and social harm 5 and should therefore be avoided it should be remembered that alcohol is a poison and as such should be treated as one . ## Position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics , Dietitians of Canada , and the American College of Sports Medicine Nutrition and Athletic Performance Besides the calorie load of alcohol 7 kcalg , alcohol suppresses lipid oxidation , increases unplanned food consumption , and may compro mise the achievement of body compo sition goals . Research in this area is fraught with study design concerns that limit direct translation to athletes . Available evidence warns against intake of signi fi cant amounts of alcohol during the preexercise period and during training due to the direct nega tive effects of alcohol on exercise metabolism , thermoregulation , and skillsconcentration . 69 The effects of alcohol on strength and performance may persist for several hours even after signs and symptoms of into xication or hangover are no longer present Alcohol may interfere with recovery by impairing glycogen storage , 71 slowing rates of rehydration via its suppressive effect on antidiuretic hormone , 72 and impairing the MPS desired for adaptation and repair . 69 , 73 , 7 More resources for those interested Effect of Acute Alcohol Ingestion on Resistance Exercise Induced mTORC 1 Signaling in Human Muscle 2016 Do Moderate Drinkers Have Reduced Mortality Risk ?
