n00b alcohol question

**NightOp** · 01-26-2002, 12:10 PM

hey everyone, im new here and love these forums so far, lots of nice people and good advice. I have a question which is probably pretty dumb, but oh well.. I read that alcohol consumpsion increases estrogen levels (on or off cycle....). I used to drink alot and have since turned my life around and only rarely have a beer or two. But, im just wondering if that is true about the alcohol raising estrogen levels? if so how much does it take to do this? Im all natural and have been all my life, but Im just curious. thns

i'm pretty sure that alcohol reduces test levels.

ya, anyone have any further info about this? to what extent? how much alcohol before this occurs, etc....?

alcohol increases the production of aromatase= less test and more estrogen.

ok, but would you say that two or three beers is significant enough to do this?

I know that when I've had a few my test shoots through the roof.

Give the alcohol a miss!!!!

I used to go out drinking on the juice, apart from getting in fights frequently, its hard to keep gains when u come come off the juice if your getting wasted all the time.
