Acute alcohol intoxication results in tremor, anxiety and irritability, nausea,and decreased mental function. Chronic alcohol use leads to internal destruction of the liver, heart, brain, muscle and cancer in any or all of them.
Research has shown that small amounts of alcohol may benefit the body. This means 12 oz of beer or a small glass of wine. However, to get the most out of the drink, going with a darker, less processed product is best. Darker beers and wines offer more nutrients.
When it comes to your workouts or athletic competition, alcohol impairs balance and coordination since it affects that central nervous system. Strength and power are also affected since it dehydrates the body, making muscle and other tissue unable to work optimally.
