The cardio calories did not offset the beer consumption, sad to report.
All other factors being the same, an anabolic state is most easily achieved with a positive caloric intake.
Wrong kind of calories though. And your muscles are quick to absorb alcohol over protein. And the needed protein goes to waste and gains suffer.
All you have to do is eat massive amounts of food first...like 5 or 6 double 1/4 lb'ers w/cheese and give it time to be absorbed...then you can drink. Fries and a sugary drink will help, especially with the burgers. It helps to get lots of food with the booze to. Make sure that it's very high calorie. Get lots of sodium as well.
