Yes!: Drinking alcohol in moderation will not affect your ability to gain muscle. Heavy drinking (more than 3 drinks a day for most people) can impair the liver's ability to handle digested protein and help process it to make more muscle. Have a good time, but don't drink and drive! best health to you!
