I train four mornings a week, hit protein, sleep 7–8 hours, and generally avoid shortcuts. But I’ve noticed something since starting reta: alcohol recovery is not what it was. Two drinks at a birthday dinner Friday left me foggy Saturday and still flat Sunday. Not vomiting, just a headache, zero appetite, a terrible sleep score, and no interest in my usual Sunday meal prep. My Saturday squat session went from planned top sets to one empty-bar warm-up and a lot of sitting on the bench. I’m not chasing a buzz, but it’s annoying that a couple of drinks now feel like a two-day tax. For those who drink occasionally, did this level out later, or did you just decide alcohol wasn’t worth the recovery cost anymore?
