During times of more strenuous physical activity, I've found that my body is less tolerant of alcohol (in addition to burning it off faster). I begin to have physical difficulty choking too much of it down. Unfortunately, this effect fades pretty quickly once I've had some down time-- so I tend to return to problematic levels of drinking at that point, which leads to slacking on exercise and lower energy/motivation. For those who force themselves to be consistent with working out, I would expect most people would crave bioavailable nutrients more and alcohol less, while also getting more bang for their buck out of smaller amounts when they do partake. That's only from my unscientific observations, but it has seemed like a pretty strong effect to me.
