If you're not taking any orals with the test you can drink, but it's not a good idea. As one of the seniors on here stated recently, drinking while on cycle is like eating a doughnut while dieting. So, why do it?

Drinking. So that's your level of commitment.

why use something what will advance you 3 steps forward and then take something else what will take you 4 steps back. Be commitment to training, eating, sleeping and dedicated to living this lifestyle, if it isn't for you and you want to party and drink, stop taking steroids the mixture of both don't work.

Yes you can drink and drinking once a month wont hinder your gain in a noticable way if you dont plan to.compete or anything.

Keep in mind however that alcohol have calories in it like anything else.

If I were you I would consider it as a cheat meal.
Good for the moral,
Help to the consistency.
But dont abuse it.

Why making all these effort, if you dont enjoy life.

Having a burger and fries for a cheat meal is at least somewhat productive for the body. Alcohol is not only empty calories, its counterproductive.

If we were talking about a drink with dinner, that would be one thing. But in have a feeling OP isn't planning on stopping at one.

here's why I don't drink while cycling

1) alcohol affects my motivation. It's harder for me in the gym the next day.
2) It introduces significant calories that, if not a part of your daily macros, will make it tougher to stay lean and clean
3) alcohol affects liver function, and drives up liver values on bloods. My liver values are already border line. And I received a letter from my doc the other day saying I need to come back in in a month for additional testing
4) quite often for me, when I'm drinking, I'm also eating, also not a part of my daily macro plan. drinking increases my appetite as it does for most others due to the alcohol sugars

For 4 months of ur life im sure u can just focus on why ur cycling and forget about having a quiet one with the boys!! Its like putting a turbo on a car then driving around with the handbrake on and wondering why its not performing like u thought

Drinking water is what you need to be doing. 2 oz per 1 lb. You will be so full you will not think about alcohol. I would never drink any alcohol while taking any oral or aas. If you want to train then train correctly, if you want to drink than dont take steroids . Period!

You can always go out with your mates and be the driver and drink all the water you want. They will understand that you are training and thank you for being their driver. Also I found that by not drinking you save a lot of money.

How old are you anyway?

**cleaner** · 05-14-2014, 05:48 PM

You guys are right!!! I'm taking in about a gal.5 a day of water... 3500 cals 300 carbs... Stopped the chicken and started the beef again for the fat... Pining twice a week 250 per... I'm 32 and you are right about all the water and not wanting anything to drink... I've always done orals and knew about all the damage it can cause.. Thanks all

TBH IMO being a teenager a year ago. Yes its not f*cking optimal for gains, but frequently drinking smaller amounts seemed to negatively impact my lifts a lot less than binge drinking one night a week. Your body gets used to metabolizing the alcohol and it doesnt leave you feeling like you were skull f*cked the morning after. Think about your past, notice that when you heavily drank a couple nights back to back (if you have) you start to feel a lot less crappy in the morning then having a one night bender after a week or so of not touching the sauce. So if your going to drink somewhat heavy, which I dont recommend, do it less heavy and more often if you like drinking a lot. Just being real here... and adding my two cents. I drank for three weeks in my first cycle (3 weeks in) and still the scale kept going up. You will still grow, but how MUCH do you wanna grow.
