Hi.
When i was younger & into going out every single weekend, i would drink heavily Thursday-Sunday, as well as "drunk eat" some shitty food. I would consume litterally a few extra thousand fatty calories. However due to hard training & proper supplmentation i was still able to remain fairly lean. Then i planned a trip to cancun & wanted to look better than i ever did.
I did everything exactly the same as i always have except i didnt have one single drink of alcohol for about 6 weeks. I also cut the cheat days down to sunday only. I was able to get prettty hard (see avatar) just by eliminating alcohol from the equation.
And i was still able to go out & have fun. Instead of alcohol, i did X, K, & G.

Remember its not about health, its about looking good
But now i do drink socially & i try to cut calories where i can & usually opt for Rum & diet coke alternated with hits from my trusty little $50 bag of coke.
Enjoy & hope this helps.
Regards,
