What kind of alcohol do I use for cleaning the injection site?

In the article I found which covers how to inject it says I must use alcohol but what kind of alcohol do you use, does it mean like some kind of medical alcohol or just vodka?

It says this in the article I have in 3 sections, I've copied and pasted the sentences from the article here:

Quote:

---

Wipe the top of the vial with an alcohol swab before the needle enters - do this every time you pull the bottle out from storage (do not blow on the top of the vial. Let the alcohol evaporate)

---

Quote:

---

*Clean the site with alcohol and you are ready to inject

---

Quote:

---

When you have completed this, wait a few seconds and then pull out and take your alcohol swab and firmly press down and massage the site to make sure everything stays in the muscle and the massage will also prevent soreness in the morning. You may bleed just a little bit, so it helps to tape the alcohol soaked cotton ball to your injection site.

Thanks in advance.

Well in the movies, when someone gets shot, or when a doctor doesnt have his kit, they use alcohol, like vodka/whiskey...I'm sure humans have used alcohol like that to stop infections for hundreds or maybe thousands of years...so yeah I was being serious ! lol

I'll do a search online for rubbing alcohol then and see where I can buy it, thanks.

Dude...you buy rubbing alcohol at any grocery/drug/general store...or the "shops" as you would say over there.

Chris you are making things harder then they have to be for yourself. Glad to see someone doing research but damn :)

hahaha...Vodka.

Dude, just regular rubbing like mentioned. Maybe you need to do more research on steroids before you hurt yourself.

There is a special place for threads like this in the lounge ....

I think you guys are being over critical, I posted because I didnt know, therefore asking questions and doing research...am starting to get this vibe on this website like people just like taking the piss because they know it all...starting to get annoying now.

Actually no I've never had any shots at doctors, we have injections at school when we kids.

I dont know what stolle is either, and I've never heard of isoprpyl rubbing alcohol, and I'm not sure what an anti-estrogen is either but I think you were joking there.

rubbing alcohol.

Dude I know the vibe around here and honestly no1 is taking the piss....

It is knind of funny to us because as you say we know it... But obviously for you as a complete noob to the AAS' your going to ask questions... Some of which are really simple..

My advise is to keep researching and when you have a question try and get the answer using the search function or google before starting a thread.


My favourite way of searching on his site is.... go on google and type some key words, in this case 'alcohol pre injection' and then end with 'Anabolic review forum'.....

Thats the most successful way for me

So you've really never used rubbing alcohol on cuts or anything? Odd...

And the reason why you wouldn't want to use rubbing alcohol for surgery is that it is toxic and only a few ounces will poison your liver and kill you (it is metabolized to acetone in the liver).
However, it is dirt cheap and highly concentrated (sold as 70% or 91%), so it makes a good topical disinfectant.

Get a bathtub of everclear(190 proof). Soak fully submerged for 15 minutes.

I'd use some vodka, you cant drink rubbing alcohol after the shot...

Just use Budweiser on it. You don't want to waste the good stuff on it. :D

Damn you beat me to it.

Maybe when he was little they couldn't afford alcohol or any disinfectant so his momma only kissed it to make it better. That's the answer, call momma over to kiss it before or after you inject. ;)

I can tell this one is going to be fun. Has anyone done an age verification yet? I'm guessing it's a good thing he isnt using Vodka since you would have to be 21 to purchase it and not for rubbing alcohol.

I apologise about my reply yesterday, when I woke up yesterday I was seriously depressed and feeling angry at the same time....not making excuses but thats the truth, I usually get one of those days every now and again, I think its because I'm cutting, sometimes the chemicals in my head or whatever, it gets all messed in and I have bad days where I feel depressed and angry at the same time...yesterday was defo one of those days for me.

Thanks for your replies anyways. Feeling much better today!! :7up:

Chemicals in your head? You have some diagnosed chemical imbalances?

I only use grey goose. Nothing but top shelf.

a cheap ball of cotton and regular rubbing alcohol.
