No. It's not true that people who exercise a lot are so concerned about their health that they keep their drinking to a minimum. In fact, as Gretchen Reynolds reports in the NYT's Well column, research suggests just the opposite: those who exercise more than most also drink more than most. Reynolds directs our attention to a study published in The American Journal of Health Promotion that was based on replies from an annual telephone survey of hundreds of thousands of American adults about their health habits. The researchers found that drinking is associated with a 10.1 percentage point increase in the probability of exercising vigorously. More specifically, the found that heavy drinkers exercise about 10 more minutes per week than current moderate drinkers and about 20 more minutes per week than current abstainers. The researchers also found that an extra episode of binge drinking increases the number of minutes of total and vigorous physical activity per week for both women and men.
Why? The researchers don't know, but they offer three possible answers: Drinkers are drawn to a sensation-taking lifestyle that includes adventurous, extreme styles of exercise; Drinkers could be socializing and drinking after participating in organized group sports; Or they might be trying to compensate for the extra calories gained through drinking or to counterbalance the negative health effects of drinking.
Or they could be lying. Drinkers are usually in denial that they have a problem. I wouldn’t take as truth anything that comes out of their mouth. Alcohol kills living things and preserves dead things.
They may well be some of Those who prefer to have good times in their endevours, especially with Others who like to have fun, as for myself.. I love to work as hard as possible for gain in profession, in excercise and I play hard too, with a healthy consiousness for responsibilty and balance throughout for best results
Well, cmagluaghlin, they are probably drunk while working out and just lose track of time. They are in denial that they have worked out enough.
