Title describes my question. Just wondering if having one or two beers reduces gains significantly. Sometimes I drink after a workout, around once a month or so. I looked this up but didn't really find anything conclusive.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Beer is definitely not the ideal thing to put in your body after a workout. If you do it once in a while it's not the end of the world, but personally I only want to put something in my body that will facilitate growth and recovery. Alcohol does not, in fact it inhibits protein synthesis.

I'm obviosuly not going to bring a keg with me when I hit the gym, but after a good run I might just put some Corona in my water bottle instead of gatorade

Its your body do what you want. Monitor the results and assess if it's working after a month or two.
That article mentions that beer is absorbed quickly by the body and the carbohydrates help to replenish what was lost during the workout.Upside said:
But there's a few things wrong with that.
First of all, alcohol reduces protein synthesis. If you goal is to gain muscle then it just made it harder. And you put extra stress on the liver from the excess alcohol, and the calories from alcohol.
Second, there's other drinks than beer that contain carbs. Fruit juice for example. There's also chocolate milk which contains various carbs and it's got protein too. Why not compare beer against those? Probably because the results wouldn't be in beer's favor.
If you want to drink beer then go ahead. But there's not much of a benefit, so don't think you're doing anything good for your body. You're not.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
