Theory/ possibly a really dumb question.

Nutrition Help

I’ve been working out consistently for about 8 years. Have had success overall and really enjoy the process. I had a dream the other night and it made me question something. My legs have always trailed the upper body gains I get. I can only squat about 25% more than I can bench, for example. My routine includes leg day every Friday which I never skip. But here’s the thing. I cut out alcohol years ago except for Friday and Saturday. I don’t drink a lot anymore but it is almost 100% limited to these 2 days, which it has occurred to me is always the 2 recovery days after my leg day!

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Could this pattern be the issue? 🤔
