Drinking alcohol on TRT

[ManOnMission]

50 year old male. Drinking 5-6 drinks on a Saturday (about 1 drink per hour) starting 2pm to 10 pm watching the basketball games. On TRT for 10 years. Arimidex at 1/2 pill twice per week. Testosterone subq injections in thigh 2 times per week .05 ml each time. (1 ml per week). Testosterone level pretty steady at 800 total. Free test 173. Estrogen Total Serum at 167 (range 60-190 pg/ml). Taking NP (Armour generic) thyroid 30 mg 2 times per day. Went thru massive 180 tests for allergies, nothing. I actually have ZERO food, zero alcohol ingredients allergies. No environmental allergies. Nothing. Also, liver testing came back in normal ranges too.

Up until a couple years ago. No real problems. Now if I drink more than 3 drinks, I start feeling like crap. The more I drink, the worse I feel. Beer is the worst. By the 3rd beer, I am completely bloated. I tried doing Titos vodka, seems a little better but not great. Not sure why all the sudden in the last 2 years, I am starting to tank from drinking.

It's not the trt. You're getting older and drinking is terrible for your gut and overall health. You're less resilient to the negative effects as you get older.

Happens to all of us, hit me at 35. I tried to quit drinking and settled on "only when I go out". I'll tell ya, not bringing beer home, I dropped 20lbs and got abs just from cutting out the crap.

Best way to drink (less cals) is clear stuff like Tito's Vodka. Ensure you drink water and / or electrolytes.befofe and after. Pedialyte is better than Gatorade. That will help cut your hangover by 1/4
