Topic: Addiction to Alcohol

Subject: burning off alcohol

Question
Can the body burn off alcohol with exercise? Some say no and some say yes.Those who say no claim that it cannot be burnt off and is bound to be stored in the lever, which will take its own time to metabolize it(with time) no matter how hard one exercises. If yes, can I take 3-4 drinks daily and hope burn it off with a half an hour walk? Since I'm into body building, but also also an alcoholic addict, this is an important question for me.

Answer
Dear RJ

Alcohol is a carbohydrate and when it is metabolized by the liver it turns into sugar. So nutritionally you can burn carbs by exercise. How fast depends on the level and intensity of the exercise. A half hour walk won't do much. If you are into body building, you will never get ripped with alcohol in your system. Your choice.
