A member asked:
How long does the effect of alcohol have on my muscle building progress if i have a beer every night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure but: Alcohol is a direct toxin to muscle and on men, it will lower testosterone. Neither effect is good if you are in training. Nevertheless, the effect of a single beer would likely be small and the alcohol metabolized in 60-90 mins.
