My TRP brothers, what gains (in and out of the gym) did you notice when you quit/minimised alcohol?

My wallet made some size gains

Wallet and clarity of mind. No more hangovers. I still have the occasional social drink here and there.

Social life is different. Spend less money. Spend less time hungover. Cope differently when work goes poorly. Eat food on a more consistent basis. Drink more water. Haven't been sick in a year or two. Not as many crazy fun bonding stories. Not as many new friends made on a regular basis. Better sleep after a while. No amazingly good tasting beverages waiting for me after a shitty day. Gym work got sincere.

Gym gains will get a lot better. Alcohol affects protein synthesis.

Drinking is borrowing tomorrow’s happiness. Minimizing would stop that. Do it for your mental health. Any extra gainz are a nice side benefit.

I drink and smoke. I’m much more productive towards my mission when I drink/smoke less. Easier to get shit done when you’re not bleh with a hangover.

Cognitive benefits abound from limiting alcohol.
