Alcohol/Creatine

FilthyPL3B Posts: 262 Joined: 2006/04/04	2007/02/15, 05:37 AM Just the other day, I took CVM before the gym, had my session, then some later in the eve. Went out for a birthday that night, had a few JD's and a few hours later much to my suprise I was more affected than usual. I have never felt this way before over such a short amount of time and few drinkns. I understand alcohol dehydrates the body as does creatine thus the drunken state so easily. But since i've been wondering, other than the obvious negative effects of alcohol on training, does it inhibit the effects of creatine? And are there any health risks? -------------- If in doubt K.I.S.S.

Biggest effect of alcohol on training - it is an estrogen stimulator...hmmm wonder why you aren't making gains? -------------- Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery.

As both alcohol and creatine dehydrate you, thus, possible implications could be more severe than say drinking alcohol on its own.
