The belt is more precautionary than anything. I cant see myself not finishing the squat sets. So I'll be getting pretty heavy, especially for that volume, rather soon. Plus deadlifts are still new to me so I know my form has to be lacking at some point during the movement.

What effect does beer have on the body?
Haha, that question came out of nowhere. Well, its has your normal alchoholic effects in addition to having quite a few calories. Too much alchohol can slow down recovery though so whilst a person is training hard it is best to lay off it or restrict one self to one drink.

Alchohol can actually be beneficial in small doses. Starting ones day with a small shot of sake or what would be a 1/4 of a glass of wine is very healthful. It gets the body up to speed and helps protect against illness. In asian countries it is common for older people to drink a small amount of alchohol at night to protect against the cold and disease. I don't have my research on hand for this one so take it for what it is.
