If your Saturday or Sunday morning routine is to come into the gym after a heavy night of drinking in the hope of burning off some body fat then you will be disappointed to know that you efforts will have limited results.
The body has a preference in which it chooses the fuel source it uses as energy. Alcohol calories are always burned first in preference to fat. So until all of the Alcohol is burned off there will be no fat burned.
The further problem with a hangover is dehydration. Dehydration affects mental and physical performance. It also affects the chemical reactions inside of the body including fat metabolism, mental concentration and energy production.
The better option is to wake up, have a balanced breakfast and then steadily rehydrate yourself for a few hours before travelling to the gym.
