    This is probably a dumb question, but I just had a semi-strong drink, a little tipsy, and I'm getting the "drunk munchies". I'm only going to allow this if I work out because I'm already over my limit by 48. Is it bad to exercise tipsy/drunk? I honestly get a bit more energy this way...

    48 over calorie limit or TDEE?
    Calorie limit...her diary is open. Clearly she could skip the exercise and eat and just call it a bust on today's deficit.

    AH! Well 48 over cal limit is still waaaaaaaayyyyyy below TDEE so rest easy my friend!
    Especially if she's at 2lbs/week! That's another 1000 cals....and if only 1lb/wk still have 500 cals to work with before you're in a calorie excess situation.

    Dont do it.


    Trust me, im a pro.
    I used to drink liquor all day, not that long ago, and feel guilty so id show up to the gym trashed, I was a wreck, i though i was mega badass but i was just bein a mega dumbass.

    Def not a good idea, u could really hurt yourself.

    I would just drink water and go to bed since you're already over your calories. I know I'm worthless at working out when I had a drink or Meds that make me tired.

    I dance for hours in a club while drinking, I don't think it's such a bad idea, but itmight make you feel more drunk for a little while. You could be sick if you jump around too much. I would still do it...

    If you've had enough to drink that you're tipsy, your judgement is impaired. I wouldn't exercise with any equipment, or very strenuously because you could easily be injured.

    Honestly, I'd say do what you must. :P
    When I'm drunk, I WILL run.
    I don't care where I am.
    I just feel like running.
    Just be careful and safe as possible and you'll be fine.

    I have a crazy friend that would head to 24 hour fitness at 3 in the morning after we had a night out drinking.

    It worked for him but I wouldn't try it!

    One of my best runs ever was about 30 minutes after I ate a steak burrito from the taco truck and drank two Red Hook Wits.

    I worked out after one drink earlier in the night once and definitely regretted it.

    I definitely wasn't drunk, but definitely felt sick afterwards. Never doing that again.

    Haha, that's what I was just going to say! I wouldn't recommend working out with weights or other equipment, but something aerobic you can just do would be totally fine. I no longer feel guilty about how many drinks I have on club nights anymore thanks to MFP, because after I log how many hours I danced I realized I burn waaay more than I drink!

    Ive done a pump class after a glass or two of wine - Ive done it a couple of times actually... Although I always enjoy pump - I did giggle alot more than normal!!! You could say I had more fun!!! Ive also played netball (similar to basketball for those without this sport!) after a few beers - and I was invincible - making huge leaps for the ball, much braver than normal!!

    I see no problem in it :drinker:
