    Another way to look at it is alcohols impact on sleep, which is vital to recover and growth. According to Dr. Matthew Walker (a sleep scientist and author of the popular book Sleep), even one drink of alcohol can interrupt healthy sleep patterns. Alcohol gives a sedation like effect instead of allowing for proper sleep cycles.
