Hey hey babes! In this episode of Giggles&Glutes, we’re clinking glasses—but also breaking down what alcohol really does to your workouts, recovery, gains, and fat loss progress. 😵💫
Whether you’re a tequila queen 👑, red wine romantic 🍷, or “only on holidays” drinker, this one’s for you. We’re unpacking the truth behind booze and body goals—without judgment, just juicy facts and hilarious stories (including that one night Zoë cried over a closed McDonald’s 😂).
