I don't drink when I'm on cycle. I've cut my drinking down to maybe a handfull of times a year. my level of agression is exactly the same on or off cycle, even when I've been on heavy androgens.

Yeah, drinking causes me increased agressiveness. I find that if I drink on a cycle, and someone pisses me off. Where I normaly would just blow it off. I get an Adrenaline rush like crazy. It goes away quickly. I kind of like it. I dont drink on cycle very often.

just don't drink while you're 'on' and you'll never know the difference... if you feel more aggressive while 'on', that's one thing. if you act more aggressive while 'on', you're just being a jerk.

When people drink alcohol PERIOD their irritability and especially aggressiveness is heightened. 95% of the fights i've ever been apart of and/or witnessed have been alcohol related.

Drinking on cycle is a good way to damage your liver. I have never had any problems while juicing, but one cycle I was drinking hard one or two nights a week. I had some tests done and my Doctor ( who was cool about steroids) told my I was dehydrated and my liver and kidneys were starting to suffer,I took 3 years off the juice just to be safe + stopped drinking for a year.

Dehydration will eat kidneys yep, thats why bodybuilders have problems with them (besides direct drug use). Lasix anyone???

Alcohol also inhibits protein synthesis, so you are just about taking steroids to counter act that. I drink every few months, in moderation. I had a little vino over new years which was nice.

how badly does alcohol inhibit protein synthesis? how badly would one big night a week inhibit protein synthesis?

Alcohol inhibits ADH ( antidiuretic Hormone), which is why you will urinate allot when consuming alcohol. This leads to dehydration and can put stress on the kidney by hindering them to reabsorb water.

good replies everyone

I posted a study in the Diet & Nutrition section on how it effects test levels last month.

Drunk or extremely drunk? I rarely would ever see more than 3 drinks a night, I honestly dont need to feel drunk and I dont like how I feel the next day (dehydrated etc etc). I'm getting old though, priorities change. A couple drinks is enjoyment enough for me.
