The science of binge drinking: 7 Tips to get wasted without wasting your gains

  • Scientific binge drinking tip #1: Keep fat intake low on drinking days to prevent alcohol from turning into body fat.
  • Scientific binge drinking tip #2: Focus on cutting rather than bulking when consuming alcohol to avoid muscle loss and fat gain.
  • Scientific binge drinking tip #3: Schedule workouts before drinking or on non-drinking days to minimize the impact of alcohol on muscle growth.
  • Scientific binge drinking tip #4: To get drunk efficiently, consume your drinks quickly on an empty stomach rather than spacing them out.
  • Scientific binge drinking tip #5: If drinking over an extended period, space out your alcohol intake to reduce its negative impact.

  • Scientific binge drinking tip #7: Opt for spirits or dry white wines over beer or sugary cocktails to minimize calorie intake.
  • Scientific binge drinking tip #8: To avoid overeating when drunk, prepare a high-protein meal beforehand and save some of your daily calorie intake for this post-drinking meal.
