Getting hit in the head then drinking alcohol couldn't possibly be good for your brain and probably has a negative synergistic effect. One very important thing that isn't mentioned here is the danger of mixing acetaminophen with alcohol. It can destroy your liver and possibly kill you. This includes drugs like Vicodin which contain acetaminophen. Alcohol is also hard on the kidneys and toxic to the liver, and neurotoxic as well as carcinogenic.

The only thing that I want to point out is a slight correction on the 'conclusions' section. You SHOULD NOT line up waters and drink when you get home. Yes, alcohol is a diuretic and will cause you to lose liquid and dehydrate yourself, but this also means that it blocks the receptors that maintain hydration. It blocks ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) receptors. So what you should do is drink a gatorade or something with sodium THEN drink water. The sodium will help absorb the water better than just drinking plain water. Also, if you over hydrate yourself you can actually flood your cells and literally 'drown' to death (hyponutremia).

It really is amazing how just even a small amount of alcohol can affect the next days training. I once read that it takes a 5 days to get back to normal just with a pint of larger. Im not sure if thats true but it does effect you for a short while. Would you be interested in exchanging links by the way. Email me back from my site. Great artcile.
