The more bottles you lift and more beer you consume can actually be a good workout for your biceps. Not. But a recent study suggests that the more alcohol you consume the higher tendency for you to work out more.
A professor from the University of Miami had the conclusion that heavy drinkers workout 19.9 minutes more every week than those who do not drink at all. The study established that moderate drinkers workout more than teetotalers but heavier drinker seem to do the same.
This is not a small study with data of 230,000 Americans evaluated to correlate booze with exercise. The researchers proved that those who drink have 10% higher chances of doing heavier or more exercise compared to those who do not drink.
Light drinkers also edge non drinkers by five to seven minutes more gym time every week. Moderate drinkers exercise 10.1 minutes more than alcohol abstainers.
Some assume that moderate drinkers tend to counter the intake of calories that comes with the amount of booze they have. The proponents though suggests that this group of individuals may actually be leading a moderate lifestyle.
So does it follow that if you want to have that six pack abs you can drink more?
Unfortunately, the study does not suggest that. Drinking more does not have definitive effect on how you will workout. You drink when you want to drink and work out when you plan to work out. We also suggest all problem drinkers not to be too happy, and consider a holistic alcohol addiction rehab as soon as possible. Drinking too much is bad, and this study doesn’t disprove that.
