I recently discovered alcohol may be bad for your health and I cut mine way back.
My drinking of whisky has been out of control since I first injured my Achilles's back in November. I had my annual exam 2 weeks ago and my labs were jacked up. I think not being able to train as I normally do, not eating like I normally do and drinking 4x the amount of normal all plays into what I saw. I didn't believe the validity of the test and went and had them redone only to find they were true.
I didn't quit drinking but I have paused it and abstained the past 2 weeks, started back on my normal diet and I can now lift weights and do light cardio again so I have been for 2 weeks.
I won't do another full blood panel for 2.5 more months as most things change slowly but my fasting glucose has come down from 138 avg to 114 avg already.
I am an "all or nothing" personality so I need to work on that but my plan is to get everything back on track and then just drink a glass of wine with dinner and stop the 2-4 Old Fashion's or neat whisky's per night.
Who would have thunked alcohol was bad for you? They should put a warning label on it or something....
