I have had 4 pints once in my life - in the early '80s a friend and I were working at a hospital in Macclesfield and we had gone to Manchester to sit an exam. I am pretty sure the pub we went to afterwards was in Manchester and he then drove us home!
I was mainly a red wine drinker, but I stopped drinking alcohol altogether over 20 years ago.
It has the opposite effect on muscle that testosterone has - don't waste that training.
In what quantities? I would expect it to be on a curve and linked to age.
Some numbers here:

I cannot vouch for their accuracy.
Has MrB had to go for a stiff drink after reading this
One conclusion the blogger doesn't seem to have drawn is that the described processes only take place when you have alcohol in your system. Once it is broken down, presumably, the effect is not present?
Another thing it said was that it didn't seem to have the same effect in women, so if you identify as a woman you can drink as much as you like
About 7m with horsforth harriers yesterday morning, a horsforth boundary loop with a bit missed out. The group leader commented that i was very well planted in the mud and looked incredibly stable; a lot of others were slipping over and our leader nearly fell in the river aire. I don't like to proudly state my fell credentials on these occasions, as it seems like a box ticking exercise in groups sometimes, and can get quite heated and vulgar. I prefer to let my running do the talking and simply stated that i like to get offroad as much as i can. My glutes are quite sore today.
I think i'll be at Giant's Tooth on monday.
That's interesting. During the Gaddesby Gallop two weeks ago, a marshall commented on my good running action through the mud.
Bramley parkrun this morning, 21.03, I don't like it when my times start with 21, but this seems to be the post pandemic norm. I've got an ECG at the docs on Tuesday, I went back to complain about still having phlegm in my lungs and they booked me a heart scan. When I said I'd been advised by a running coach to seek an obscure antibiotic and try it, she said it's definitely not bacterial, even though it was triggered by a string of bacterial lung infections. She wasn't even interested in ruling it out, they can't think outside the box.
