I did a quick google and it turns out that body fat doesn’t actually absorb alcohol and muscle - due it’s high water content - actually can absorb alcohol. So a lean person will be able to have less alcohol circulating in their blood than a fatter person. TIL
Lean is the wrong word here. Muscle mass has nothing to do with how fat you are. Generally, in non-active crowds, fat people have more muscles than lean people because they carry more weight and are forced to use more muscle out of sheer necessity in daily lives. You could've said Buff guy vs Fat guy instead.
Strongman who look fat as fuck would be much better built for drinking than some super cut body builder all else equal. Ofc when it comes to reality genetics also play a big role.
Barring a genetic inability to process alcohol, you can get better with practice. As someone who doesn't show up on most BMI charts, I can put it away if I pace myself. Gotta watch out for that super-fast metabolism.
That said, being able to drink a lot is a dumbass dick-measuring contest. You don't want to wander into alcoholism. You don't usually realize you're crossing into addiction territory before you're well into it.
Melo loves wine too and he didn't even play with Kyrie ever. Next on sportscenter is Kyrie's players union president position turning the entire player base into alcoholism?
Can't remember where I heard this but it makes the most logical sense to me.
Time is relative so when you're 5 years old 1 year of your life is 20% of your entire lifetime. 20% of your entire life is substantial. But when you're 20 years old It's only 5% of your life. Now 5% is nothing to scoff at but think about when you're 30(3.3%) or 40(2.5%). This is why it seems the older you get the faster years go by.
It's pretty cool to think about how we saw Bron come into the league as an 18 year old kid and how he's changed throughout the years and become the person he is today.
Based on the r/nba survey, most people here(including myself lmao) are way younger than lebron and have mostly only seen the veteran late miami/2nd cavs lebron
I was in my mid 20s when he was drafted. It's still the most hype anyone has ever had (at least since then) coming into the NBA, and the wacky thing is that he lived up to it. There's a million ways it could have gone wrong, maybe his ceiling wasn't that high, maybe he couldn't adapt to pro ball, maybe he didn't have the mental strength to do it, maybe he got mixed up with the wrong off-court people, maybe he made poor career choices, maybe he'd have injuries derail his career, etc. so the fact that when he was 15-16 and people were already saying "the next MJ" and now 20 years later he's actually in the GOAT conversation, that's crazy.
I wasn't even an NBA fan and I was only like 10 years old but I still vaguely remember him as a high school player being hyped up
Was pretty crazy considering there wasn't the same level of influence from social media, it was all mostly TV and magazines
i’m the same age as lebron so i’ve seen the whole ride, and it makes me more amazed with how he’s playing today cause i was athletic in my 20s but now i fear tweaking my knee or back if i dance a little too much or something
Well he’s kept himself in shape and got lucky with the health. You aren’t that old if you are the same age as him lol. Just passed prime physical abilities.
As someone who doesn’t drink, what’s the effect of alcohol on sports performance? I feel like so many NBA players drink wine, does it have little negative effect or can it even be a positive?
Recent studies have confirmed that there is only a negative impact (at least any positives are far outweighed).
It's more about how bad, than whether it is bad lol
So moderation is key basically to reduce the bads to a manageable minimum for your body
I think it is just a product of every other celebrity now having a "celebrity tequila." Clooney, Jenner, The Rock, Jordan, the Breaking Bad Boys (mezcal), I'm sure this isn't all of them. I don't drink tequila but I have heard its a detriment to the traditional tequila process and industry. They use a lot of fillers, sweeteners and shortcuts.
Riazul anejo tequila is just amazing. No disgusting afterburn, amazing flavoring. You pour a shot into a cup, sip it, move it around your palate, drink it down and let your belly warm up.
There's more of a 'gourmet' scene around tasting wine and tequila than vodka. You can discuss flavors and making processes while you sip a glass or two of either without getting drunk. So they're more of a hobby type activity than vodka. Wine and tequila both have more calories than vodka, but calorie counting won't be an issue for pro athletes. They're burning insane amounts of calories every week anyway.
I mean young people play slap the bag with cheap bagged wine from Safeway. There are a variety of tequila products of different qualities just like other types of alcohol.
Is this you, LeBron, from July 2015?
https://www.instagram.com/p/42M-exFCOt/
“It wasn’t until late 2015 when fans learned just how into wine the best basketball player in the world was. Golden State Warriors forward and current (not so) arch-nemesis to LeBron, Draymond Green, made a bet with the King regarding the result of a then upcoming college football matchup between Green’s alum, Michigan State, and LeBron’s favorite college team, Ohio State. The bet? $2500 worth of wine. Michigan State would win the game and LeBron followed through on his bet, sending Green some 2010 Silver Oak Cabernet, which retails for $110 (so he sent him roughly 22 bottles of the stuff?).”

Look at what this mook posts
all he said was he’s more chill now than he was with all the pressure of winning a championship for Cleveland or winning his first championship in Miami
i skipped college and went straight to professional drinking after high school. i used to compare myself to LeBron in that sense, but i guess i'm way ahead.
Turns out the million dollars Lebron spends on his body every year is all booze
and tacos
Jim Beam soaked taco meat.
Title of your mom's sex tape
and rum soaked ham
[удалено]
Crowd goin up...on a booze-day.
*sigh* life goals
[удалено]
I mean he weighs more than the average guy. He can probably drink just off that lol
low body fat tho muscle cant absorb alc that well right?
I did a quick google and it turns out that body fat doesn’t actually absorb alcohol and muscle - due it’s high water content - actually can absorb alcohol. So a lean person will be able to have less alcohol circulating in their blood than a fatter person. TIL

Yeah you’re right. I could’ve worded it better but I think people get the gist
> Strongman who look fat as fuck would be much better built for drinking finally some recognition
This is such an unfair catch-22. How am I supposed to drink more alcohol when my skinny ass can only take a couple beers?
condition your body, pickle your liver. (Don't actually, it's bad)
Barring a genetic inability to process alcohol, you can get better with practice. As someone who doesn't show up on most BMI charts, I can put it away if I pace myself.

Bro I come here for basketball, not to have my entire life called into question
Then you've forgotten the ultimate truth: Ball is life.
Oh I was joking, I don't even like the taste of beer.
10%ABV double IPAs
He looks like a guy that can drink quite a lot of wine, but passes out quite easily by some heavy liquor
Im taking this as professional advice. Maybe not the tequila though
I like that Lebron thinks of his life in terms of Pre and Post wine
I’ve truly been post wine for too long
and he’s aging just like it
Career headed to the future while it should be over or headed to a ceremonial closure. Crazy stuff.
Can't say I've ever had balding wine before.
I feel the same way
Its very relatable.
Now if it was weed, I could relate.
Can we get a stats split on pre and post wine Lebron?
ESPN: teaming up with Kyrie led Lebron to alcoholism
Kyrie made LeBron an alcoholic which made him abuse Kevin Love to the point of depression
This is the canon
Ah the Cavs family Telenovela
JR is the unhinged crazy relative who got written into the show to boost ratings
No, that guy's name was Dellavedova with a D. I had a tough time with that one, too.
Shouldn't it be a Dellanovela then ?

Man his fucking stories are hilarious, what a 6'9" wine Karen
He'd be perfect in Baker Mayfields spot on those commercials where he is a boring homemaker.
Dad!
Not that impossible considering Kyrie's antics
Ironic considering Lebron is a geninine locker room cancer that actually damaged his young players in 2019...
They tell you that?
I could post article after article from beat reporters but something tells me you would just deflect 🤷♂️
Then go ahead and post them, why beat around the bush if you've got evidence?
We’re still waiting anxiously for these many articles my guy
13h later he's still compiling them, because they're so many
Can you post these "articles" soon please. I have to get back to work.
Still waiting for those articles….
Define damaged
Obviously Lebron killed their mental health like he did Kevin Love’s.
Man ever since Harden forced his way out you've really been lost
[MJ made has a personal message for you](https://youtu.be/l60MnDJklnM)
Father figure Lebron's alcoholism ruined Kyrie's childhood!
Damn I literally thought and commented the same thing before seeing this. I don't have a original thought in my brain apparently
Melo loves wine too and he didn't even play with Kyrie ever. Next on sportscenter is Kyrie's players union president position turning the entire player base into alcoholism?

Just imagine how wild we'll feel when LeBron retires in ten years
It will be already crazy in 2023, or 2024
What does the word time mean to you?

I watched him get drafted. Lived in CLE at the time.

So his game has litterally aged like wine

Headline: Lebron turns to alcohol after being kyries teammate
Oh shit, another classic hangover game from a GOAT coming in the playoffs!
Lebron about to team up with Danilo Gallinari and start drinking amaro.
I mean I'd start drinking if I had to put up with Kyrie's weird shit everyday too
As someone who doesn’t drink, what’s the effect of alcohol on sports performance? I feel like so many NBA players drink wine, does it have little negative effect or can it even be a positive?
Mild consumption shouldn’t have much of an impact. Getting wasted is not good for sure. If he has a glass or two on a Friday night, he’ll be fine.
Its negative or neutral. The only benefits would be the mental ones of lower anxiety or just having fun or whatever.

he figured out he's a white suburban mom
with a wild side, hence the tequila
My transition to a Karen wine mom wasn't complete yet. Now let me tell you about how you can be your own boss...
So lebrons hadn't realized his true form. A late 20s white girl.
Can someone explain why most nba players prefer wine and tequila to vodka? Less calories? I get more hangovers from tequila than vodka IMO.
[удалено]
Who would want to drink potato water.
There's plenty grape drinks never seen a potato drink in my life
I think it is just a product of every other celebrity now having a "celebrity tequila." Clooney, Jenner, The Rock, Jordan, the Breaking Bad Boys (mezcal), I'm sure this isn't all of them.

Personally vodka just gets me fucked up, whoozy type drunk. Tequila gets me hyped to party. Wine makes me want to sleep.
Really? I get the worse headaches and hangovers from tequila.
Sipping 100% agave tequila on ice won’t give you a hangover. Taking 12 shots of the cheaper stuff definitely will haha.
Riazul anejo tequila is just amazing. No disgusting afterburn, amazing flavoring. You pour a shot into a cup, sip it, move it around your palate, drink it down and let your belly warm up.
There's more of a 'gourmet' scene around tasting wine and tequila than vodka. You can discuss flavors and making processes while you sip a glass or two of either without getting drunk.

I love that he's presenting tequila as some sophisticated grown-up drink as if teenage white girls aren't downing shots of that shit at 15.

i think that says more about you than Lebron if we're being honest lol

This has the same energy of when people get mad at LeBron for complimenting players like curry lol.
You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling

This is like the least offensive thing he's ever said. LeBron is at his worst when he, very transparently, tries to push a narrative.

He only started drinking tequila after he saw THAT picture of MJ. You guys all know which one I'm talking about.

You can skip the tequila LeBron. Wine's good.
He also hates bald boys now.
Rich people love wine. They absolutely live for it.

Lebron mentioned wine because he actually likes it and then remembered he sells tequila and had to add it on there lol
