in excess it may hurt you but i dont think it would be that bad at all. not much worse than soda.

#1 You shouldn't get drunk in the 1st place
#2 Drinking 1 time wouldn't do anything

well theres a few things. First it totally depends on who you are, some people can handle it, others can't, i know people who smoke and drink and it doesn't affect their running. Sometimes it fucks with me because of the mentality, during a race or run i would be like oh shit, is that drinking fucking me over, so it messed with me mentally. Second, i think the big reason why they say not to do that, is just because when you're drinking your prone to stay out later, affecting your rest, and you could just do something stupid and get hurt.

I stay dry during track season, but that's just because I'm really serious about pole vaulting. I don't think it would hurt to do it once or twice though.

well, i've cut back on my drinking by about 95% since i started training again. but a night at the pub every once in a while doesn't seem to effect my performance.

if you're not used to drinking, just take it easy and give yourself a few days for your system to recover.

at running camp, olympians told us that everytime you get drunk it erases your last 1-2 weeks of training. for a distance runner this could result in injury, as if you increased mileage. just dont take the risk

yea man i drink. but alcohol isnt exactly good for you, especially if you are trying to be athletic. but you should be ok if your only drinking at senior prom, it wont really effect you all thta much(unless maybe you have a meet the next day)

...Why would you NOT drink beer before prom? Kids these days, enjoy the shitty school dance sober haha.

Won't affect you too much, those are some pretty rough events though so you might want everything you can get... kind of up to you. Alcohol does sap a lot of my motivation, I find it much easier to work if I haven't drank in a week or so, but if you have the discipline to train just as hard no matter what it shouldn't matter.

a kid at a neighboring high school ran a 4 20 mile, and a 47.00 400 the night after prom. His name is evan jager. if you haven't heard of him you should look him up, he's the next pre.

of course its not good for track....


You drink everyweek your body doesnt recover as easy.

Therefore you use less of your bodies potential.

And the odds of injury rise.

Most athletes still drink but are selective during peak season.

well your school probly has some policy about drinking while on a team, and prom is like the "lets all try to get MIPS and be retarded" night, so you got that going for you, and basically you gotta decide one or the other if you want to be good at either, don't try to walk that balance, i did and it was gay.
