How Long after a strength training workout, followed by a protein shake should one wait to consume copious amounts of alcohol?

    Bourbon in protein shakes is excellent.

    Alcohol dehydrates you due to suppressing the anti-diuretic hormone. So, if you're losing water during a workout, then going to drink, god help your kidneys and liver.

    Yeah. I'd just say you want to rehydrate first. However long that takes you...
