A member asked:

I'm drinking whey protein after i work out. can i still consume alcohol? does it have any side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I see no conflict: I see no conflict between protein shakes after workouts and alcohol consumption. But it's a matter of degree. How much alcohol we talking about? Because moderate alcohol intake is pretty safe. But excessive alcohol consumption definitely has side effects, including nutritional depletion.
