+ 4 Alcohol and Steroids

I see people asking about drinking alcohol while on a cycle so I though I would post some facts about this 2. First water is your best friend and everyone knows alcohol dehydrates you. Second alcohol reduces protein synthesis making steroids counter productive. Third alcohol breaks down compounds in the blood stream turning testosterone into estrogen. Along with all the unwanted side effects that come with it. Last taking orals while drinking alcohol is like drinking a six pack first thing in the morning. So when it comes to drinking just don't but if you do try to keep it to a bare minimum, otherwise all your hard work is going straight out the window.

Good stuff +1
Bodybuild or drink pick one
if you are serious bodybuilder even you are off season ,alcohol is your worst enemy.i never drink.
Alcohol has to get flushed out so the body eliminates it quickly by dumping your water levels at a rapid rate. So if your trying to avoid all the errors of dehydration like salt, estro, high bp, stroke, lethargy, etc etc just leave the booze alone. Anyone running a steroid that raises hematocrit knows too well how fast that bp jumps just from light dehydration.
One thing to add. DO NOT DRINK DURING PCT if you value your gains at all. I've done it before and its like taking 2 weeks in the wrong direction. People don't believe me when I say alcohol is the worst thing you can do when it comes to body building and getting in shape, no wonder the people I know that think like this look like shit.
Alcohol reduces natural test levels and if you are trying to increases them it is the worst thing you can do during pct. +1 and thanks for the amendment to complete my post.
AnonAgreed u should keep drinking to an absolute minimum on or off cycle.
AnonGood post, due to the reasons you stated people shouldn't drink heavily or too often even if they are off cycle. It diminishes gains and results whether you on steroids or not.
One of the sides of Testosterone use if you belive it is Alcoholism I see it on every web page that has to do with Testosteone facts I guess you metabolize faster so you wind up drinking more to get buzzed...dont know thats all I can come up with. But ya pretty stupid if your trying to get in shape.
cdaddy7Liver no like orals and especially alcohol...makes enzymes go wild and elevated...just best to leave the alcohol out of the mix...nothing good can come of it on cycle so its a no brainer with these points being made....ur body is under enough stress with the compounds and hormones...want to drink?....then do it in ur off cycle.... +1 Logan on great info and truth brother!!!
