Can Exercise Burn Alcohol? Metabolism & Alcoholism Explained


Question
Can the body burn off alcohol with exercise? Some say no and some say yes.Those who say no claim that it cannot be burnt off and is bound to be stored in the lever, which will take its own time to metabolize it(with time) no matter how hard one exercises. If yes, can I take 3-4 drinks daily and hope burn it off with a half an hour walk? Since I'm into body building, but also also an alcoholic addict, this is an important question for me.

Answer
Hi RJ,
Alcohol can be "metabolized" differently by different people. A lot has to do with liver health and amount consumed. Exercise does not "burn it off". I think, if you have addiction problems, the issue shouldn't be about burning it off as much as how to slow or stop consumption.
