Q6: Why is it unhealthy to practice Tai Chi after an expenditure of chi (like sex or alcohol)?

A6: The body is a very complex system. The view that "if loose too much chi to alcohol or sex, then rest before practice" is simplistic, but in essence it is correct. It is a fact, not an explanation.

However, under normal circumstance, moderate drinking and moderate sex life should not preclude regular chi gung / tai chi practice (unless this practice is unusually straneous: 4 or more hours per day).
