If you constantly train and follow the basic principles of healthy eating, you can here and there take couple of drinks, right? Well, of course, but there are a few things that you should know about before going to visit the cafes and bars.

Scientists have found a certain increase in muscle endurance after having couple small drinks, but of course these “benefits” were short and small in comparison with the negative repercussions. Alcohol can reduce the strength, endurance, aerobic capacity and lengthen the time required to recover after training. Alcohol has a negative effect on the nervous system and brain, even short-term use has a negative impact on nervous-muscle interaction that will result in a reduction in force.

When alcohol comes to muscle cells, he can damage them and probably it will. At those who often drink, inflammation of muscle cells is very common. Through time, some of the damaged cells can die, which will result in less functional muscle contraction.
