Abstract: This study reviews the effects of alcohol consumption on muscle hypertrophy and physical performance, analyzing scientific studies between 2010 and 2023. The results reveal that alcohol, especially in acute intake, disrupts post-exercise muscle recovery, interfering with the synthesis of proteins, energy metabolism and anabolic processes. The studies reviewed showed that drinking alcohol after exercise reduces muscle protein production, impairs muscle reconstruction, and interferes with the effectiveness of strength training. Furthermore, alcohol's relationship with dehydration and its empty calories compromise energy efficiency and nutrition, displacing essential nutrients and affecting metabolism. Alcohol, by triggering metabolic processes aimed at detoxification, impairs the efficient use of calories, which can lead to unwanted weight gain, a consequence of an increase in the capacity of adipocyte cells, mainly in the abdominal region. These results highlight the importance of understanding the effects of alcohol in the context of sports practice and the search for muscular hypertrophy, and provide information on the negative physiological effects of alcohol on exercise, with the aim of improving the results of resistance training.
