Drinking is WORSE than you think!

Drinking alcohol can be extremely unhealthy! Alcoholic beverages are loaded with calories, carbohydrates (including tons of sugar), sodium and toxins! Consuming alcoholic beverages kills brain cells, causes the gain of adipose tissue (this is the bad fat that is collected in the body around the abdominal area...IT CAUSES HEART DISEASE!), impairs judgment and has high levels of toxicity that can kill the body if over-consumed.
If you are honestly looking to lead a healthier lifestyle, put the drinks down and pick up the dumb bells! Go to the gym and use the EFX or the treadmill instead of heading to the bar on a Friday night.
If you feel it is absolutely necessary to go out for a couple of drinks...

1. HAVE A DESIGNATED DRIVER (Not having a designated driver can cause legal problems that will certainly stress anyone out. In return, stress is one of the worst things you can do to the body)

2. Limit your total amount of alcohol consumption! (The amount of calories consumed in one heavy night of drinking can total to more than an entire day's recommended calories in a matter of an hour or two.)

3. DO NOT DRINK IF YOU ARE UNDERAGE!!

The point in all of this...It is best not to drink at all! If you do, drink responsibly. Keep yourself healthy and respect your body!
