The majority of athletes will drink alcohol alongside their training, and broadly speaking this is pretty harmless. But it will have an effect on our training, especially if you miss sessions due to hangovers, or it affects your ability to recover.

In this week's episode I delve into the science and social aspects of alcohol, to help athletes make informed choices surrounding their intake.
