its all about moderation, to a certain extent. If u have the occasional beer, once/twice a week its okay. But if u go out and get wasted, expect ur liver to take some abuse. I refrain from alcohol a couple weeks b4 my cycle all the way up till a couple weeks after clomid. This way i can assure that my liver will have nothing but the AS to deal with. And it doesn't hurt to know a good doc so u can get checked out every now and then.
