    I used to exercise high in the past. As long as you're not completely out of it, I'd say it's okay?

    I do it all the time. It's called dancing. :)

    ^^ although if drunk, it goes from dancing in my case to more like random wiggles

    Yes. I recommend if you're drunk and want to exercise, dancing in a large spacious room is desirable. A bedroom with padding is best depending on the level of drunkenness.

    I advise against running, lifting, or anything involving heavy machinery.

    well...alcohol is sugar, and exercising uses up your sugar a little faster, so in theory should decrease your drunkeness as you exercise...right? :S maybe better not. lol

    Don't do it. Not worth it. I drank wine and tried to work out once, was awful. I thought I was doing great for about 10 seconds, then everything was super hard and I wanted to puke, got a headache, and passed out in bed.

    I did a brewery run a couple weeks ago. We ran from one brewery to the next to the next, stopping for a beer at each. It was fun. The trick was to have enough beer in your belly that it stopped sloshing.

    And enough after to sign up for a race without knowing it

    Hopefully that's all I signed up for. I'll have to see what other surprises pop up in my email.

    I only remember one time having maybe 2 beers but then still hitting the gym.

    I've run hungover several times. It sucks but I've still seemed to run fairly well hungover.

    Zombie thread, but I'd advise cardio yes, but weights no. Beer drinking and running are a great combination, IMHO.

    :laugh: Good luck! When I've been drinking I barely want to wobble myself to the bathroom. Forget exercise.

    A glass of wine before a run can feel pretty fine, if you ask me. I'm certainly not drunk on one glass of wine though.
