I used to work swing shift (1000-2200) Mon/Wed/Thurs but am now on 0700-1900 Mon/Thurs/Fri. I limit myself to Fri/Sat drinking only, as I go to the gym 4-5x a week. For awhile, I was having a beer or drink almost every night, and started to skip the gym and/or ate like crap. Ive since revised that schedule and got back on my routine of clean eating and gym time. I typically drink Fri nights, hit or miss Sat. Ill down some pints on the weekends, or a few scotchs or bourbons neat. I have trouble sleeping so I tend to stay up til 2 or 3 watching tv or movies. I dont get to the point where Im hammered (Luckily I have a good tolerance).
Nothing against having a few during the week, I just save all mine up for the weekend.
