Is Alcohol Ruining Your Training?

YDS is supported by ⁠⁠Microcosm Coaching. ⁠

Is alcohol ruining your training? From post-race beers to wine with dinner, drinking is woven into athletic culture—but what does the research actually say about how alcohol affects performance, recovery, and long-term health?

In this episode, Kylee and Zoë break down the science: how alcohol impacts sleep, hydration, muscle protein synthesis, and hormonal recovery. We explore why athletes drink (spoiler: it's complicated), what "moderate" actually means, and how to make informed decisions without moralizing your choices.

Whether you're wondering if that celebratory beer is sabotaging your gains or just want to understand the trade-offs, this episode gives you the facts without the judgment.
