In this episode of Fitness Stuff for Normal People, Marianna and Tony take an objective look at alcohol and its impact on overall health and performance. Rather than taking an all-or-nothing approach, they break down how alcohol affects key areas including fat loss, muscle building, gut health, hormones, sleep, and mental health. The goal is to provide clear, practical insight so you can better understand the tradeoffs and make informed decisions that align with your goals.
