alcohol on cycle

[Graco]

Hi everyone, iv just started a test e cycle and its a friends birthday night out coming up.. I just wondered what everyone's opinions are on have one pretty crazy night whilst on cycle.. Obviously it can't be good but on a one off would it be ok? Thanks

[ironbeck]

While it won't kill you, I would recommend you keep the drinking to a minimum while on a cycle, its just a lot of added stress on your liver.

[Graco]

Well id either go and consume huge amounts of alcohol or not go at all and have to make up some sort of reason for not attending apart from saying im injecting 500mg of test e into my glute

[kamilo1975]

Once in a while it won't hurt you, just make sure you drink a lot of water

Why do you have to consume "huge amounts" of alcohol, do you have confidence issues? If you can't enjoy yourself without alcohol, that's pretty sad and maybe something you need to look at.

Why can't you go to the party and have a good time and not drink? How are you going to have the discipline to train and succeed when you can't show constraint for a few hours? What's really important to you? You spent the money for the AAS and you have a goal right? A little self control for a few hours won't hurt you.

If you are responsible enough to take steroids then you should be responsible enough to not drink while on them!!

I attended a party while on a PH cycle. Here were my strategies, hopefully something wll help. I did not drink one drop on the cycle. At the party I just filled a cup with juice or diet soda, or whatever. If people are watching, pretend to put some vodka in it. Worst case scenario, use the excuse that you had a headache and took a bunch of tylenol or something. If you must drink, why not sip on a beer or two throughout the night. Don't understand the reason for getting trashed. Going overboard only kills your gains.

seriously guys, This is getting ridiculous. Most of us arent pro, dont make money off the way we look. Its a fvcking hobby. You shouldnt have to give up having a good time because your on cycle. One night of drinking isnt going to mean shit at the end of a cycle.
go out and have fun

As far as actual damage to your health/liver, I would say it completely depends on what your taking, if your on 50mg of DBOL or even worse some Superdrol, then i would advise against it. It its a simple test cycle then it wont hurt you any more then huge amounts of alcohol would normally.

IMHO if you are taking bodybuilding serious enough to take steroids, then you should have an understanding on diet, and should already not want to drink, more then an occasional beer once a week or so.

Back in my party days when I was on a cycle I would be in front of all my peers and I would still be the only one not drinking. In fact play it off and be funny with it. I would literally play BP with isopure, and kings cup with milk.

[DAAS]

on the other hand I have friends who drink 6 30 racks in a week end while on cycle. Id hate to see their liver values, but they are alive.

[DeadlyD]

keep you water intake high!! hangovers seem a lot worse on cycle!

[binsser]

i got drunk on test-e once woke up in the morning and my back was cover to fck with acne SO i blame my stupidness and the beer it took ages to get rid of them as well need to be careful while on cycle at ll times no matter what people say you need to think about it yourself either way its a risk of sides starting up sooner than you think but saying that 3-4 isnt going to hurt. But doing 14-15 pint s and then starting on top-shelf WILL ruin you bud!

BUT PEOPLE WILL ALSO NOW SAY THERE POINT AND ARGUE THIS LOLOL

huh? i thought I was the only one that felt this way.

yeah... it's a friggin hobby.

besides, the test isn't straining the liver much, so a one time night out isn't going to make a big difference.

[Americanman10]

Just take a vodka bottle and fill it up with water and pretend like you are drunk! You should be g2g with that

Agreed! But try to drink a few glasses of ice water during the night.

[HawaiianPride.]

do your thing, stay safe.

[Graco]

Yes i can enjoy myself without alcohol im sure everyone can but people still drink.. And i have no confidence issues at all that's not the reason i like to have a drink it was just a simple question.. To everyone else thanks for the responses!

[curioususer]

have a big protein shake afterward

While testosterone is not hepatotoxic, high doses of it does strain the kidneys. Therefore, it is best to refrain from binge drinking at weekend parties.

I would recommend moderate consumption of alcohol which studies show to generally benefit lipid profile by increasing HDL. Especially red wine which

contains natural plant chemicals with antioxidant properties.

I think people who go to clubs or bars sober are weirder then people that get hammered

[auswest]

I think people who go to clubs or bars sober are weirder then people that get hammered

Why?

In my eyes drinking does not mix with my training, I began training to give my life some self worth and get off the piss, I am now a non drinker and couldn't be happier.
As has been mentioned this is a hobby for some, if that's the case if you like to drink then drink, but for some of us it is more than just a hobby and I believe drinking is counter productive to my goals. So obviously depending on who you ask you will get different responses. If you are just running test will the alcohol be any more damaging compared to being off, probably not. Will your diet/training/recovery be effected by getting written off, probably yes. So it really comes down to your own goals and what you enjoy in life and where your bodybuilding sits in your priorities.

[DeadlyD]

I find getting hammered leads ti a hangover which leads to a day of laziness which leads to bad nutrition decisions !! but once in while ya gotta party and have fun.

alcohol+steroids=RAGE. be careful and stick to beer. or abstain...

[DanB]

^^^^

If you let it and so does alcohol on its own, so does your ex gf, your boss, that fvcker that cut you off in traffic, shit like what you said there is what gives steroids a bad name

[gixxerboy1]

to people who cant control themselves

amen.

[AAS90]

Have a good time,dont make a hobby of boozin it up unless you want to be built like a bag of 2%. Test is not hepatoxic and a night on the town is not going to cause your liver to explode. This is more about creating good habits and having self discipine, stay focused.

[sharmabrah]

I'm natural and I hardly ever drink alcohol. Feel great to be honest. Don't really see the need to get incredibly smashed anymore (when I was younger it was a lot of fun but not anymore). If I do go out I just have a few drinks and that's it - other than that I hardly ever drink. But it's down to different lifestyles I suppose. As long as you are disciplined you'll be fine.

shit like that is a warning to people who dont know, and an attempt to educate them and prevent steroids from having a bad name. Its a warning, not a rule.

[DanB]

your saying alcohol mixed with steroids will turn you into a raging lunathic, you sound like a news report or a guy in court blaming steroids as the reason for smacking his wife when in reality the guy is just a dick, steroids dont cause anybody to lose the head, that choice is up to you and if you cant control yourself then you have no place using steroids, or drinking for that matter either

[castiron]

oh get ahold of yourself. im just saying that testosterone is the reason for aggression in men, alcohol multiplies your emotions. so if you are adding unnaturally high amounts of "aggression" into your body, you should be careful when you drink. I learned that the bad way. And I am a VERY level headed person.

[DanB]

So my bad steroids are the reason then, looks like the media is true after all and steroids are evil

and higher test levels means you WILL be more agressive and flip? this is all what your saying, so therefore nightclubs I frequent should basically be a large boxing ring since majority of fellas in there are using aas

and by the way, me get a hold of myself? your the one who reckons ''alcohol+steroids=RAGE''

or do you think that steroids give you confidence and with this confidence and even more confidence from the alcohol you may decide to try act the hard man when if you were sober you wouldnt have the guts to say boo? IME this is alot of the reasons behind it and since you cant seem to obtain steroids I doubt your around/associate with people who actually use steroids to actually know much on the subject and you just going by what you hear in the news

[ADSONE]

yea bro honestly i think it goes either way...on one hand one night wont kill you and if your not even amatuer BB than no harm.... but on the other hand, where does BB/goals/training/recovery stand to you...all subjective to you...truth is you could make it without drinking one night...good luck

[castiron]

So my bad steroids are the reason then, looks like the media is true after all and steroids are evil. No, steroids arent the reason, people who use steroids then go on tequila fueled benders are the reason why the media blows it out of proportion.

and higher test levels means you WILL be more agressive and flip? this is all what your saying, so therefore nightclubs I frequent should basically be a large boxing ring since majority of fellas in there are using aas. WILL is a strong word, it was a generalized WARNING, to lay off the hard alcohol and stick with beer. call it damage prevention. Most of those young fellas have higher test levels than the old fellas. Hence most fights are young guys.

and by the way, me get a hold of myself? your the one who reckons ''alcohol+steroids=RAGE'' Hard alcohol and elevated test is more likely to make someone more emotional than a non AAS dude drinking.

or do you think that steroids give you confidence and with this confidence and even more confidence from the alcohol you may decide to try act the hard man when if you were sober you wouldnt have the guts to say boo? IME this is alot of the reasons behind it and since you cant seem to obtain steroids I doubt your around/associate with people who actually use steroids to actually know much on the subject and you just going by what you hear in the news[/QUOTE] LOL, man ive been around the block.

That was just my 2 cents. I dont think people on cycle should drink at all, and if they must hard liqour should be a definite no. It wasnt an attack on you. I think you are overreacting.

BOO

[DanB]

do you realise how many people are on steroids and go out drinking several times a week? its far more then the people who use and dont drink

do they go out fighting every weekend or ''rage'' as you put it? no

this is real world experience, dont know where you get yours from, a book or magazine prehaps?

simple as that, im done

[blksavage]

I have drank a couple times this cycle. I didn't have any problems I had a great time but then felt guilty and regretted the next day at the gym during my cardio session so I decided to cut the drinking out and just have at the gym while trying to get my yoke on

[castiron]

no Dan. Ive run 3 cycles in my 10+ years of training, along with competitive powerlifting. I know thats nothing in the AAS world but it was 9 months of my life on cycle and enough to give me an idea of how my body reacted to alcohol and test. Again it was a warning, a suggestion, to drink in moderation. And Ill stick with it. Although maybe I should rephrase it to-alcohol and steroids could trigger the urge to assert yourself in an aggressive and potentially offensive fashion, instead of alcohol+steroids=rage or perhaps overreacting...

now your getting somewhere and basically agreeing with what im saying, i like how you have stepped back from your original statement with every subsequent post too

its a mentality people get into ''im on steroids so im hard'' not the steroids causing people to lose control of themselves and go on a rampage as your orginal post suggested

[castiron]

I think it was actually a misinterpretation on your part originally. We mean the same thing, we just say it differently. This is great couples counseling.
