Question 1

How does alcohol affect HRV?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol typically reduces HRV by 10-30ms depending on the amount consumed. Even 1-2 drinks can lower next-day HRV by 7-15%. The effect is strongest 12-36 hours after consumption and can take 2-3 days to fully recover.

Question 2

How many drinks lower recovery score?

Accepted Answer

Research shows that 1-2 standard drinks can reduce your WHOOP recovery score by 5-15%, while 3+ drinks often result in 20-40% lower recovery the next day. Timing matters — drinking closer to bedtime has a stronger negative impact.
