Alcohol and hairloss

[Oknow]

Is there a link? I tend to find I shed a sh*t load more after a heavy binge session. Dr Rassman says there is:

Saying that despite drinking, my recession is less then my older bro who is a teatoller, he is a NW2 whereas I am a NW1. So I am unsure.

I thought you knew better than this. :shakehead: :thumbdown2:

You're out of the circle of trust Oknow, you've gone to far man! :hairy:

Beer > hair anyday...

There was another thread on the subject. If I'm not wrong, alcohol lowers testosterone levels and thus might prevent/slow down hairloss...

 

[s.a.f]

Lowers testosterone and increases eastrogen levels so if anything good for hair (although not enough to actually make any difference).

So what if you get drunk every night?

You'll still have male pattern baldness when you wake up in the morning, you'll just have a killer headache to go with it

I think I remember reading it increased the inflammation around the hair shaft or some sh*t... I dunno...
If you are balding anyways, drinking alcohol in moderation isn't going to change much. There are actually a fair few benefits that come with a certain amount of alcohol weekly.

Then again ....

Maybe there is something in it ..... :whistle:

I have known a few alcoholics through the years... Most of them had good hair.

I used to work for an alcoholic guy. He was the worst I've ever seen. He would have a few shots for breakfast and then depending on his mood he would either keep drinking and go home at 3-4pm, or not have anything till 5pm and then get proper drunk. He was bald...... maybe he turned alcoholic after he lost his hair :whistle: ?

His sons were 30+, also alcoholics, but they had good hair. Maybe the secret is in starting early :innocent: ?

 

[Tyler_Durden]

Lol, my dad smashed the beers, unfortunately he was bald by about 25... So I guess that throws that theory out the door!

You see a lot of young Irish blokes bald, and they love to drink as well. In end, whatever you do, you won't overpower your genetics.

I'm not talking about alcohol, but you are absolutely WRONG about thinking that what you put in your body will not effect your hairloss! Sure it's not the trigger which determines if and when you will start having hairloss- which are genetics, but everything you put in your body effects the rate of your hairloss cause yes it's genetics which determine it but what is it you think goes on in your body that those genetics determine? Different foods and drinks completely play a role in the production of hormones. And you wonder why we still haven't corredted this yet? Because of the average person not understanding things and because it's a Billion $$$ business to keep the consumer buying a product that can be patented and also that requires being a user for life. If your Genetics say you'll have hairloss because your follicles are programmed to be effected by hormones then you'l have a hairloss--unless you can slow down or bring to a hault this hairloss by understanding the effects of hormones and what you can do to stop the effects of these hormones and again many things you put in your body and do in life determines these.

When dealing with this subject you need to deal with people that are genetically determined to suffer Androgenetic Alopecia.

Someone can get drunk everyday and it could have no effect on their hair because they are not subject to the processes of Androgenetic Alopecia. While someone who is subject to Androgenetic Alopecia and gets drunk daily could kick start or speed up their hair loss. The same problem occurs when people try to deal with Masturbation theories. "If that were true then every man would be bald. LOLLAMDO", No. Genetically determined to suffer Androgenetic Alopecia. Remember that.

Personally, I have no Idea on the subject. I bank on the idea that alcohol in moderate amount smight actually be good for hair. The same could be said for drugs like Marijuana as they atre vasodilators. But, there is absolutely no evidence to prove this. It's just something I have noticed from being on several hair loss forums for the past few years.

 

[kerzyguy]

no way

 

[decro435]

IrishPride are you actually Irish or are you American-Irish?

 

[decro435]

I see..

 

[decro435]

Haha, yeah it does.

So many Irish over there in the USA! Keep the pride!

It was discussed long time ago on another forum. I really think that alcoholics tend to have better hair. You see them on the street, and Most of them are not only NOT bald, but have a hair that is white but strong, no signs of thinning.

I am not saying that the effect is strong enough to counteract the genetics of an NW6 guy. I am just saying it does help in someway and there are some scientific reasons for that as mentioned earlier.
