Alcohol and TRT

Lonestar71 · Mar 28, 2017

Hey guys, quick question-

First off, I'm not a big drinker however I do enjoy my brown water and coke 2-3x a week and share a bottle of wine with my wife maybe once a month. Is moderate alcohol consumption acceptable with TRT? I want to yield the best results but being this is my fourth week I'm beginning to question every aspect of my life may be a hindrance to my TRT?

Lt. Over-Thinking? USN

Thanks Guys!

Many, perhaps most, of us enjoy a drink.

So I'm good to keep the beer bong?

Thanks CW

I would not be concerned about 1-2 drinks 3-4 times per week. It may improve relaxation and HDL values.

I would be concerned about over consumption of coke.

I would avoid alcohol if I was trying to lose fat.

Good advice and thanks Nelson. I don't drink any soft drinks during the week. I'm a water guy. Coke is my mixer when I do drink.

I would not be concerned about the small decrease here since food tends to decrease T by 20% (it rebounds hours later)

I love silver tequila on the rocks. All sugary or dark drinks make me tired and give me a hangover.
