    A glass of wine is about 70-100 kcal, it is fine in low amounts weekly for your sedentary person, your casual gym person but it has has a bad effect on fitness levels. If i drank wine each week my ability to cycle 6 miles at a fast pace would not be possible, i would struggle, my oxygen levels would be low and their would not be the capacity to lift my pace.

    None of your reasons for not drinking are because it "puts weight on you" ....

    If drinking causes performance issues for you than it is a great reason not to, but this was not your original argument. Shrug**

    The effect of alcohol varies person to person. I drink wine or beer pretty much every night, sometimes more than 1 glass. My gym performance has not suffered in the slightest. So to each their own

    Lol dude. It's wine, not cigarettes. I'm a Triathlete and just did a half marathon two weeks ago, and I drink plenty. I spent forty minutes on my trainer this morning and ran six miles yesterday, and I'm having a glass of wine as I wrote this.

    Cheers

    6 whole miles!
    Drinking a nice glass of sauvignon blanc right now and I cycled 64 miles yesterday.

    Please tell me how wine affects your oxygen levels?

    I think you should reread it. Look at the title. I haven't even started yet. I personally think one unhealthy meal a day compared to the rest of a day of healthy eating is something called a healthy lifestyle. ONE or two healthy snacks compared to the rest of the day healthy eating. That is pretty healthy to me, considering how I eat at the moment.

    One unhealthy meal a day ie. a big mac and fries, can put me over my daily calories, so yes, it won't work for you. Getting drunk does not equate to having a social life. Loads of people have a social life and don't get drunk....
    You have to face the facts and reconsider what is important to you....

    I regularly have a couple of glasses of wine on a Friday night and then run at least 5 miles on a Saturday...

    What is not true?, If i put someone who drinks alcohol every week through some really serious cardiovascular exercise, they would fatigue quickly, muscle cramping would occur, and their hearts ability to cope with the increased work load on it would be too much for it to take.

    I'm guessing this is your attempt at humour?
    A bit like your profile - "2-3 kg weights for resistance training".

    Hopefully no-one is gullible enough to believe you are serious.

    I can run 4 miles the day after having a couple of mixed drinks. Granted, they're not overly strong (2-4 shots of vodka, give or take), but I can still do it fairly easily.

    Same may not be true for everyone but saying no one can do it is silly.
