Alcohol is a killer if you're trying to build muscle. Your muscles soak up the alcohol instead of the protein they need, and the protein goes to waste. If you're having recovery issues from working out or are battling DOMS, Eat or drink between 20-40 grams of protein within 45 minutes after working out. Whey protein shakes are hard to beat because your muscles absorb the protein faster than say, chicken. But protein bars are great too. Your recovery timevwill greatly improve. Carbs help with this too.
