Hello Doctor,
If I drink a moderate amount of alcohol tonight, will it negatively affect my performance in tomorrow's athletic event?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
While moderate alcohol consumption may seem harmless, we generally do not recommend it, especially if you are focused on optimizing athletic performance.
Alcohol can have several detrimental effects, including dehydration, impaired muscle recovery, disrupted sleep quality, and reduced coordination, all of which can negatively impact your performance the next day.
Moreover, alcohol carries a potential risk of addiction and long-term health consequences. For these reasons, it’s best to avoid alcohol, particularly when preparing for physical exertion.
Thanks
