What do experts say about pre-workout alcohol?

There isn't specific discussion in the retrieved clips on the effects of consuming alcohol before a workout. However, Andrew Huberman mentions that alcohol acts as a vasodilator and can lower body temperature, which might be seen as beneficial for recovery after exercise but is not necessarily recommended before exercising due to potential impairment of performance 1.

In discussing pre-workout substances more generally, it's noted that substances which increase body temperature or certain stimulants can potentially impair performance and aren't recommended if safety and optimization of exercise outcomes are the primary goals 1 2. Therefore, it is advisable to exercise caution with pre-workout alcohol consumption and consider its potential impairing effects.
