Drinking and Cycling?

OK obviously chugging shots every night is hard on the liver, and adding orals to the mix ... well, nuf said. But is casual drinking really bad on the cycles? O7

Why anyone would drink on cycle to add stress to the body/liver, I've no idea. As well, it sure isn't going to help your look any nor muscle gain or fat loss.

I know a guy that bragged to me about drinking while on drol. I thought he was joking but he was serious. That is crazy and wreckless. I see your kidneys and liver are working at full speed trying to detoxify 50mgs of drol then drinking on top of that. Maybe piss some blood or get that yellow tint in your skin from jaundice....ughhhhh.... Not fun sides.

Do you enjoy having a healthy liver? I would do injectables only if you have a heavy social schedule that requires drinking.

Yep, gotta agree with you 100% if you are on orals ... that's crazy! But what if you are on a moderate Enth/Eq cycle?

Hey, do as you wish, I simply stated my opinion on the matter. May want to read it again as I listed reasons. Just because one isn't competing doesn't mean one wouldn't want to lose excess fat and gain lean mass and screw up the ability to do this because of alcohol.

Drinking on cycle is like running a marathon, except that for every four strides you take forward you take one back, then you punch yourself in the face and do the hokey-pokey before taking another four strides.

ALA Is Alpha lipoic acid. Obviously drinking on cycle isn't the best idea, but some people still like to have a life and actually mingle with people. It isn't going to kill you and I dont give a Sht who on this board says it will !!!!!!!!

Actually heavy drinking on cycle "could" lead to death.
You dont need to drink to be able to mingle and have fun.

I would say you could get away with one night of moderate drinking a week on injectables, not orals. If you are at a point in your life where you are drinking a lot, get off juice. When summer is over, hit it hard and don't drink. You'll get much better results. You are wasting money if you are partying and juicing.

Actually there is a study about Milk thistle. HRT doctors strongly suggest their patients NOT take milk thistle because it causes a very big increase in SHBG production which essentially deactivates testosterone and near testosterone hormones. Add to it alcohol which turns the remaining free testosterone into estrogen and the combination essentially ruins your cycle.

Well that is interesting, I certainly have never heard that? Thats why we are on this board ... Thanks. Now what about SHBG with ALA?
