alcohol and gear.

[slothy]

hey, just posting another question for your enjoyment.
I know drinking is harmful on your body and can lower your test levels among other things.

I am on the 4th week of my first cycle of dbol and test. I have got great results thusfar, probally mostly from the d bol and mostly consisting of water : )

while I am not a heavy drinker by any means. I do enjoy having a drink or two while my friends get sloshed : )

Is a small amount of alcohol like that acceptable while on?

I figured with such a small amount it wouldnt be a big deal, but a friend today was telling me how I should avoid it all costs, and said I should just stick to green if I have to. Green is no problem for me, because I find it does a great job of stimulating my appetite.

I would (and have) lay off everything, but if you insist, "green" is probably better for you than alcohol. However, I have heard of people drinking in moderation and still make great gains., but it makes you wonder if the gains would've been "greater" without alcohol, same with the "green." By the way, I took me a couple of secs to relized what you meant by "green."

I don't think it's that big a deal at all. I always hear everyone on here saying "Get your priorities straight...if you can't abstain from drinking for the duration of a single cycle then you shouldn't be cycling". I think that's complete BS. Some guys out there are trying to compete, so yeah, obviously if they want to make it they're going to need a hell of a lot of dedication. To me, those are the only guys that viewpoint applies to.

There's lots of guys that juice that are just trying to be big. They don't have aspirations to compete or to look like Ronnie. To say that these people should forgo the rest of their lives while on cycle to stay "dedicated" is just stupid. I'm not saying it's ok to get blitzed all the time while on cycle, but I can't stand when people jump on other's throats for wanting to have a few drinks on their birthday or something.

No problems as long as you don't do it EOD, your liver is getting stressed by the gear, alcohol just make your liver work twice, a drink or two is no problem

I just like to look at it this way, I'd rather hurt my liver using gear than hurt it by drinking. Just my opinion.

 

[a-bomb5083]

or you could put it this way... arnold was asked in a conversation if he drinks milk and how often, he replied "milk is for babies, i drink beer". that might have everybody rethinking,lol.

Whatever, no matter what anyone thinks, "ARNOLD DOES NOT KNOW BEST!"

As long as you're not a marathon driker and don't do it more than 1-2 times a week I don't see it being a problem. For me it's cause alcohol makes me lose my appetite and I don't eat enough.

That said I've got a few really big friends who are major booze hounds even while on, and it doesn't seem to hurt their progress. Not sure what their livers look like tho.

 

[Frankieperfect]

Ill have a beer or a glass of wine when im out at a club, but i wont get loaded. I dont think one or two is doin that much harm as long as your not doin it ED.

 

[slat1]

I used to drink a lot when on! I have it under controll now. My priorities in life are better. I'm not sure what damage I did but I am sure there was some. Used to black out all the time. Keep everything in moderation and you should be fine. Obviously, no alcohol is better though...

 

[musketeer]

I only drink to get smashed so you wont find me "just having one" or anything when I'm on cycle. I don't cycle very much though. I just don't enjoy having a couple of beers - I'd rather have none than 1 or 3 or 3 or even 4.
Get the most out of your drugs and don't dehydrate yourself, waste your money and give your liver a harder time.

 

[slothy]

yea see thats what I was kind of thinking...

I know this is not a juice "cocktail" of sorts... but it still cost me quite a bit, and I have gained alot of weight so far.. but I would still like to get the most for my money.

 

[theoak01]

I will drink maybe once a week if Im not on orals, but on orals I wont touch anything

 

[patsfan1379]

i agree i wouldnt drink too much on orals either... they are toxic enough...

 

[Dantes]

Keep it as minimal as you can. I find that the hassle of refusing drinks is more bother than it's worth. Just sip a drink slowly to keep people off your case. Man I swear it's worse than being a chick.... "why aren't you drinking? are you pregnant?" ... "why aren't you drinking... are you on sauce?"

 

[snizsniffer]

If you're drinking while ur on, just monitor you liver functions (blood tests) if ur worried. Adjust your drinking from there.

I plan my shit out. I get to go out once every two weeks. Unfortunately, my bros are raging alcoholics. If I go out with them, I'm not gonna remember the ride home. Therefore, I gotta limit myself. I couldn't imagine not hanging with them for 8-12wks.

Arnold use to drink. Didn't seem to hurt him.

 

[BOOEY]

I think you have to worry more about the 'day after' effects. I know when I drink, the next day I don't feel like doing shit - I miss my workout, or if I do go, it's a complete waste and I definitely don't get a meal in every 2.5 hours. More like a meal every 6 hours. Plus, I sleep shitty - interrupted sleep every 3 hours or so. For those reasons I don't drink at all when on gear, not for what it will do to my liver.

 

[21gun]

Drinking a little here and there ain't gonna kill you. Life is supposed to be fun...so, enjoy it while you can. Remember this, who gives a shit about a shredded 300 lb. dead man.

 

[genesis]

Having a drink or two every once in a while ... please..... you shouldn't even worry about this at all... I mean there are studies out there showing that small amounts of alcohol comsumption are actually good for the body!
