alcohol and hairloss?

[dem]

I have been trying to find info to see if there is a positive correlation between increased alcohol consumption and hairloss.

Does anyone feel that increased alcohol consumption can lead to increases in hairloss and/or ineffectivenes of treatments?

thanks

as we know from that tor de france guy, alcohol can raise T levels temperately, but linking it to DHT... i don't think there is much science behind it

treatments are still working for me yet I drink like a moron from time to time lol

 

[s.a.f]

Alcohol LOWERS T levels!

its good to hear all your thoughts. thanks! i too have been drinking a bit more than usual (ok, partying like a rock star) and have been experiencing increased sheds. however, i'm not sure yet if i will draw a conclusion that the two are related until i see more science behind it.

and i have read alcohol reduces testosterone

I read somewhere that red wine is good for the hair and most wino's you see that just drink wine have more hair. Don't ask for the article just something i remembered and why I drink a glass every night. Just started a few weeks ago. Red wine has antioxidants, I know that for sure.

Yes, most winos have full heads of hair. People used to argue that bums on the street have nice hair because they dont wash it...this is completely not true..i worked in new york city, which used to be the bum capital of the US and i can tell you from experience, the homeless do wash their hair in public bathrooms many times with bar soap..ive seen it COUNTLESS times...

i think most bums have hair because most bums are alcoholics.
i really do think alcohol has a positive effect on hair

it may have a marginal positive effect...but its not enough to stop you from going bald if the gene was passed to you..

I mean it may lower test some..but its not as powerful as finasteride or dutasteride and even those dont work forever.
