Drinking while on

I'm just wondering how many people drink alcohol while on? Obliviously i'm not talking about precontest

I had 3 beers and a glass of champagne on my wedding night while on test prop, tren ace, and epistane. The world did indeed end just like you hear on the news.

A couple beers once isnt gonna kill you.
Drinking often while on oral AAS can cause liver damage far exceeding what would be expected. This may not but certainly can cause liver failure and death.
Drinking is not conducive to ANY bodybuilding goal and really has no good place in a cycle.
This does not mean alot of peopl refrain from drinking on cycle, just that they should.

I didn't think the world would end. I drink once and a while on gear. I was just wondering if theirs people that do it all the time and if they feel it effects their gains.

I used to drink while on test only cycles and aside from effecting your health there are other negative effects that will compromise your goals.
dehydration is one
For me even a mild hangover leads to my nutritional intake being altered in a negative way. For example I eat less, less often or something more tasty than dry chicken.
It also compromised my training.
There was a noticeable difference in overall composition
training volume and intensity
and how I felt.

I would say in my personal experience it did indeed effect me in a negative way.

christ, its short short short term at best. there is a difference between binge drinking frat boy passed out on the picnic table drinking and social consumption.

I drink a glass of red wine nearly every night. once a month or so I have a few maggies. in moderation, no problem. if drinking to moderate excess, take the following day off, lots of multi vits before and the day after and fluid fluid fluid.

Youll be fine if u drink on the wekends. even if you drank daily, youd be ok. The liver is very hard to damage unless you are genetically prone to it. But then if you are drinking daily, why the hell would you be on orals anyways? the two just dont go together.
As for me, i look forward to saturday nights to drink in excess of 15+ beers and eat all the cheat food my hearts desire. Come monday morning, im back on my diet!!

1-2 drinks every once in a while is fine.

Drinking while on would be the best time...any reduction in hormone production and protein synthesis from the alcohol would make no difference if you're injecting test anyway! But of course binge drinking + orals is no good...

While I'm not concerned by the health affects that much. I think the point about hvy orals and drinking is an obvious no no.
For me personally, the question is where is your priority? Are you just a gym rat or are you a competitor with goals on a timeline. How committed to the cause are you?

During the bulk, yes, we go out about twice a month and have beers with friends, 8 being alot! Daily, we live very clean physically and spiritually.

For me its here; Do you want to be a giant walking amongst peasants, or do you want to be a peasant that wishes to be a giant?

will a few beers or a glass of wine hurt you on a saturday night probably not. However a few years back when i decided drinking wasnt helping any and i stopped altogether my physique started maturing because i was more focused never had to miss a workout or meal or got a bad night sleep. If your the type whos always looking for the slightest edge to get better and better then there should be very little room for drinking. Maybe one drink on an anniversary or holiday.
