Increase Stress on the Body
Alcohol reduces cortical activity, which plays a key role in decision-making, speech, and movement. This effect is not good when the body is still tired due to excessive sweating from exercise. During a workout, the nervous system has to consume a lot of energy to deal with the stress that the body endures. Drinking wine or beer afterward may make it harder for the body to keep a balance at the cellular level. As a result, it leads to more stress on the cardiovascular and metabolic processes in the body that may slow down recovery. [4]
