Creatine and alcohol and coffee??

[Briguy]

Hello all, and thanks for reading....

thinking about trying some creatine....thought I read somewhere a while ago about not drinking any alcohol while supplementing with creatine?
I know that alcohol and coffee dehydrate you after so much...is that the only reason or is there a chemical reaction that is not so good?
I could do away with the alcohol, but please...not my coffee!!!
If so, what about caffeine pills instead for that little boost that we all love and makes the world seem a little better place for an hour or so!!??? LOL....
Any help greatly appreciated....Brian.

I don´t remember of any interation between creatine and other substances.

How much caffeine do you take to make the world a better place?

creatine and caffeine - ok (just drink more H20)

creatine and alcohol - pointless and can be dangerous.

basically creatine makes your muscles more anabolic by saturating them with water, and then alcohol makes your muscles catabolic by dehydrating them (and lowers natural test too)

There's a thread on memory supps somewhere, but I just can't seem to remember where.
