Thread 214421833

How did a functioning alcoholic keep a body like this? It's not like his job as a detective was physically demanding either, he was mostly sitting on his ass doing research.

>>214421833 (OP)
Once you build a (natural) base of muscle you don't really need to do much to maintain it. It's also not that hard to be an alcoholic and not fat. Just eat less.

>>214421944
Alcohol is pretty fattening, an evening drinking beer can easily rack up to 2k calories in a single setting. Not to mention it fucks up your liver too.

>>214421833 (OP)
It's a movie

>>214421961
>an evening drinking beer can easily rack up to 2k calories in a single setting
That's like 12 beers

>>214421997
12 beers is a lot?

>>214422054
Yes. If you don't drink American piss. Try drinking actual 6% beers.

>>214422081
I'm from belgium and pic related is our normal beer of 5.2% and we still go to 20-30 in a single setting. Even worse is that this behavior is encouraged among young people.

>>214422130
Forgot pic

lemme guess, it's your Mom's basement?

Avoid carbs, stick to spirits, avoid mixers.

tv shows always are fairly liberal with what alcoholics look like but I still maintain a fairly muscular body despite my bad habit. it's somewhat easy if you're naturally thin (in that you don't have bad eating habits). you either eat very little or still eat clean enough with all the extra calories that comes with an alcohol addiction and hit the gym because it's just routine.

You have to eat a shit load of protein like it’s your job too. None of the other posters mentioned that. That requires motivation and not being depressed

>>214421833 (OP)
Rust wasn't drinking in the 90s, as you recall. And he was shown doing chinups so he worked out.

>>214421961
Just say you created the thread to confirm your own beliefs

>>214421833 (OP)
by being fictional and probably taking steroids irl

some people can take it

>>214421833 (OP)
He worked out, drunk lots of water and didnt eat like a pig, not everybody is wet brained alchy smoking and doing drugs all day

>>214421961
most alcoholics I've known were skinny
they don't eat much

>>214423557
Not a good example. He looks like a fatfuck in every picture.

Also, goodbye erections when you drink for more than a week. Not even viagra, cialis or mix of both will get you hard.

>>214423699
it's an excellent example and you are a retard

>>214423760
You are a sad piece of shit of impotent alcoholic.

>>214423760
if you think that body looks good you're either a lardass or a retard

>>214421961
I drank beer every day for several years and never went over 160. I'm 5'11". At my heaviest I think it was a change in diet and not beer, as I had been eating out far more frequently.

>>214422130
He's just seething about America, he doesn't have a real point. It's like responding seriously to a bot.
>>214422147
For me it's Chimay

>>214422130
I'm pretty druk after 6 Leffes

>>214421944
>>214421961
i havent watched the show but i don't think this dude was ever a total degenerate. i would guess he kept his old routine and diet to some extent, only he didn't eat much in general because of alcoholism

>>214422626
only to build muscle, not retain it

>>214421944
This. I got /fit/ for several years but quit during Covid when my gym closed. Still have my 6 pack despite not lifting in 5 years.

>>214421944
Alcohol is 7 calories per gram, which is 2 behind fat, if you're an actual alcoholic you will blow 2000 calories away in alcohol alone in a day and have to eat nothing, which some alcoholics do. My brother lived on percocets and beer for many years and stayed as skinny as that while doing back breaking trade labor.

>>214422147
is Stella Artois cheap in Belgium? I don't drink anymore but when I was in my early 20s, it was the Rolls Royce of beers

>>214421833 (OP)
Paul Newman was an alcoholic his entire life and pretty much looked like this.

>>214425915
>At one point, Newman reported drinking a case of beer a day, followed by hard liquor, until he gave it up around 1971.

hmm

You just work out.
I was in my physical peak when I used to drink around 20L of beer a week.

>>214423699
>goodbye erections when you drink for more than a week
I don't know where you're getting your alcohol facts but you should get them from someone else.

This thread is full of naive zoomies. Real alcoholics are almost never fat because when you get to a certain point you simply stop eating much. Vodka is your breakfast. Beer is your dinner. You’d be surprised how long a person can live off poison and empty calories. And nicotine.

>>214425976
It's funny because of you didn't drink you'd have been in even better shape since alcohol interferes with gains at a hormonal level.

>>214423643
this really is it. a lot of functional alcoholics move around a lot hustling and just doing shit, so they get tons of steps in. my alcoholic half brother is like this. very skinny guy, doesnt eat much and just walks everywhere.

>>214422649
yeah but in the show he says he just becomes a total loser in the 2000s up until the interviews which take place in like 2014 iirc. so nearly 15 years of just drinking , smoking and having no life outside of work. you'd think he would be a fat bastard

I have OP's pic body. Just eat 2 toasts and a bowl of oatmeal during the day. Eat a big meal for supper then avoid eating til the next. Avoid sugar, only drink water. Workout everyday with dumbbells. Do intensive 1h cardio at least 2 times a week. Also be over 6'1 tall

>>214422081
>muh American piss beer
You are retarded and this stereotype is retarded, most euros drink stuff like Heineken, 1664, Stella Artois, Carlsberg, or Guinneas. Which is all shit we drink here or similar to shit we drink here. And unless you are from Belgium or a Germanic country, your beer is not much better than ours lol.

>>214421833 (OP)
not eating

>>214421833 (OP)
It's fiction. That's how. His image is heavily romanticized. People who smoke 6 packs a day and drink 6 cans of fucking beer every week will never look like this and won't be able to do even a single pull up at this age.

I'm not a full blown alcoholic (around 40-50standard drinks a week) but am in pretty decent shape

every alcoholic thread is a million times more pathetic than any incel thread.

>>214427283
>drink 6 cans of fucking beer every week

6 whole cans of beer a week? that's insane

>>214427288
Kek you're in denial buddy

>>214427313
denial about what?

>>214423557
holy kek

>>214425892
Yes but of the "cheap" pilsner beers it's the most expensive/high brow. Jupiler and Maes are what is served at football or events for example.

>>214426700
None of which are depicted in the OPs pic.

Beyond that, beer doesn't make you fat. Beer + food does and Rust never eats. Just drinks and puffs.

>>214426248
>You’d be surprised how long a person can live off poison and empty calories.

the human body is actually absurdly sturdy. my mother is an anorexic and for 10 years lived off purely onions milk before she got treated. Her bloodwork wasn't even that bad when she went in.

>>214426248
Agree. When i drank 0.7 + beers each day for a month. I maybe ate like 3x a week tops. That's still baby alcoholism compared to the oldfucks outside that shit themselves after a sip of beer, that's how fucked their guts are now.

>>214427309
Actually, he drank more. "I work 4 nights a week in between I drink". And that's how much he drinks in a single day.

>>214427369
thanks my day wasn't depressing enough

>>214425763
Dang thats a great story

>>214423557
he's not looking too good recently, and he's on a tonne of drugs and even TRT

The only thing I hate about drinking is the alcohol bloat in the face, has anyone found a way around this

Crack addicts living on the street all look like this

>>214427516
I've tried everything and at certain stage it's impossible to avoid. Same as the bloat(not fat) around stomach.

>>214421833 (OP)
Did any of you experience pain in the right side of the body? I know that's where the Liver is. But doctors supposedly claim that you can't feel pain in your Liver because of drinking.

>>214427595
Lol what? Liver pain is a telltale symbol of alcoholism.

>>214427420
I was joking. 6 cans of beer a week is nothing. I used to drink 50 tallboys a week

>>214427244
>And unless you are from Belgium or a Germanic country, your beer is not much better than ours
It goes beyond that. American beer has been superior for nearly two decades but euros don't go out much.

>>214427780
NTA but when you say American beer, does that also imply the most common brands like Corona, Bud Light, etc? Because I've had those and they're not really better.

>>214421833 (OP)
he was almost non-drinker at this point in the story
