    Hello there fapstronauts, I’m on day 26 and in this streak i have got drunk 4 or 5 times, vodka and beer, got little bit drunk nowadays, i just want to know how it affects my recovery process and do I lose benefits if I’ll get drunk even once a week. Also, I didn’t watch porn, masturbate or even have sex, I think I’m going well, I would like to hear your opinions. Thanks a lot

    I read that some people were more likely to relapse when drunk or hungover. It could be a slippery slope.

    I speak out of personal experience: Problem is the hangover.
    I feel a bit down the day after and I'm completely out of self control and any form of discipline and mostly I'm extremely horny and looking for output. I've thrown away two 20+ streaks last year on days after partys because my brain just wasn't able to think long-term anymore. All I wanted was the dopamine of the last evening in some form, so I relapsed.

    Your question however seems to be about if alcohol itself is dangerous to your reboot process - of course it differs, but I wouldn't say it's inherently resetting progress. Doing it once a week, it sure does affect you in some way but I'm not here to tell you alcohol isn't healthy :D would be hypocritical but maybe if you tell yourself to just drink one beer but end up getting completely wasted that e.g could be a crack to the self discipline benefit. What you could do is try to go some time without drinking and see if it changes something for the better. If not, it's not that big of a deal. If yes, decide what's best for you!

    After the next day of drinking I didn’t feel like relapsed just felt little bit less motivated, low energy, low sharp mind and also lazy and on bad mood like depression is getting back but these side effects are not too strong but i think it’s recognizable

    That's why I don't drink... It will subtly make me feel like sh*t because it wrecks my liver and everything else... I just toke a joint from time to time, at least I find it useful because it helps with my creativity, music, and my writing.
