Hey guys,

Does anyone ever take creatine on nights they know they'll be drinkin booze? I've had some pretty bad experiences when I've done this. I'm not sure if it was just coincidence or not. But I feel the dehydration factor w/ creatine and then the dehydration that comes from booze always leaves me w/ a killer hangover the next day. Anyone else? Or is just coincidence?

Sometimes you just feel tired, u feel weak
And when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up
But you gotta search within you, try to find that inner strength
and just pull that shit out of you
And get that motivation to not give up, and not be a quitter
No matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face, and collapse..

I have a difficult time staying hydrated on creatine period. I always grab myself a big Gatorade on nights I know I'm gonna drink and chug it down before I hit the sack, usually helps a bit.

I am in the same boat, complete dehydration but no hangover thou (max 3 drinks.)

I was told at a small shop where I bought my creatine not to drink alcohol while taking it. I found this kind of different because I had never seen anyone mention this on any of the boards I have been on. I do try to limit my drinking while taking creatine though. If I know that I'm going to be drinking fairly heavily on a Friday I will not take any on that day, and sometimes on the day before as well. If I'm only going to have a few I don't worry about it.

I am going to be having some wine this Superbowl Sunday and it just so happens it's my day of the week that I don't work out, so no, I will not be taking my creatine then drinking... on a normal day if it happens that it ends up lioke that, I really don't look to deep into it, I'll just drink more water knowing my body will need it.

After almost 2 weeks... I am back and better than ever.

This is common knowledge, or atleast I thought it was?!?!

Creatine dehydrates you and alcohol dehydrates you, so.........need I say more.

Do it every weekend. I drink 2 litres before bed, and no worries. Just stay hydrated during the day and you'll have no problems. I'm not even hungover today and i had a shitload last night and had creatine during the day.

ye. i drink on creatine and it doesnt affect me negatively in anyway. i just make a slightly bigger effort to stay hydrated. that should really be your only concern
