So everyone’s had that day, you know the day after a long night drinkin, smoking, just YOLOing in general. The next day comes quickly even though fully formed sentences don’t. Well for some strange, absolutely unexplainable reason I enjoy working out that morning after. It could be the sweating out of toxins or cathartic self punishment I’m forcing on my cardiovascular system, maybe I’m a bit of a masochist. Regardless I find myself drawn to hitting the gym or going for a long run following a night of utter debauchery. This can’t be normal right? I mean most people hate working out enough as it is, let alone after hittin the whiskey bars hard the night before. Mmmmm whiskey….

I find it gives me a good opportunity to reflect on the decisions I made the night before and how much money it will take to correct them. Also alcohol is a carbohydrate worth about 7 calories per gram. Compare that with regular carbs which have 4 calories per gram and fat which has about 9 calories per gram. I’m not trying to scare you from drinking, that would be a tad hypocritical, but college is a good time to learn how to balance large consumption of alcohol and maintaining a semblance of healthy living.
