What Alcohol Does to Muscles -- (Sisyphus Rock Ep. 2)

How does alcohol affect muscle development and growth?

In this video, I'm taking a dive into the published literature on the effects of alcohol consumption on muscle growth and the different effects that it has on men and women.
Alcohol consumption has been thought for years to negatively affect muscle growth by hindering muscle protein synthesis. However, as you're going to see in the video, things are not that simple.
Even more, women seem to not be impaired by alcohol on this particular matter in quantities that completely destroy men. Scientists believe they have found a reason why that happens.

I'd love to see your thought on this in the comments.
