Alcohol Consumption Timing

Many of Friday nights I will partake in the consumption of alcohol with friends. I usually only drink on Friday (or Saturday nights), but usually only once per week. I know it’s not in the recommended safe range, but usually 5 or 6 drinks is normal. I also usually train on Friday after work and as soon as my workout is done, I’m getting ready and then consuming alcohol. Is this bad in terms of recovery from my workout? Would it be better for gainzzz to consume alcohol on a non training day?

I don’t think the timing matters much at all compared to the amount, since many of the effects of training are long-term plays vs short-term. For gainzZz, I’d try to reduce the amount a little over trying to put it on a different day.
