Alcohol and Bodybuilding dont mix! Just one beer a day can add 15lbs fat in a year! Drinking three or more beers can make you weaker and reduce endurance for up to 48hours and if you cant push your maxes, you wont gain mass.
As a bodybuilder you need to know what good, strict nutrition is. When you master your nutrition and cardio and get so ripped that you have veins in your 8-pack abs, you can start relaxing the nutrition a bit. Once you get in tune with your body, you can maintain low bodyfat year in and year out without being so strict because you instantly know when you have gained a few ounces of fat and can adapt before it becomes noticeable.
People dispute my answer D (15lbs fat). Drink one beer a day above your normal daily caloric intake and you will gain 15lbs of fat in a year. Of course if *all* you had to eat every day was one 150cal beer then you would die of starvation. I didnt want to make the quiz question a whole paragraph, most people understood what I was asking. Here is how I arrived at it. 365days*150cal = 54,750cals. There are 3500cals in a pound of fat, that means 54,750/3500=15.64 pounds of fat. Answer D. People believe what they want to believe and have come up with all kinds of screwy arguments to justify to themselves that a beer a day is fine. Typical of these arguments is "It depends on your activity level, you might not gain any weight drinking a beer a day". Well, by that logic I could also say that 10 twinkles a day wont hurt me either because I can just cut out other things from my diet (meat, vegetables, fruits and other healthy things) and still maintain my weight. If you drank 8 beers a day but ate or drank nothing else you would lose weight - and die from mal-nutrition and you certainly wouldn't be able to add muscle.
One additional comment. Many have written saying that this study or that shows that a glass of alcohol a day reduces chance of heart disease. This is perhaps true if you are over 60 years old but a 24 year old is FOUR times as likely to die from alcohol related causes than they are to die from heart related issues.
Please get it thru your head, if you are a bodybuilder and want to maximize how much muscle you can add and lose fat to get ripped at the same time then THE QUALITY OF EVERY SINGLE CALORIE COUNTS!!!!!
From the hate comments I am getting here, I can see I hit a raw nerve. Sorry people, attacking me wont somehow magically make alcohol good for you. Alcohol is empty calories and if you want to add muscle and lose fat at the same time then every calorie counts.

I am a certified personal trainer and I gotta say this guy is bending the facts. He is half correct. You will ONLY gain 15 Lbs of fat if you are eating over your maintenance requirements. Lets say my TDEE is 2,800 cals/day but I only eat 2,650 + a beer. Guess what? I won't gain a pound!
im 21, drink (not excessively but 2-3 times a week) and have no problem keeping my 6 pack. then again im young and my body is in its prime for burning calories and putting on/maintaining muscle mass
