Alcohol boosts testosterone?

See the 4th paragraph (single sentence) under the subheading "Translation 'not possible.'" I don't think they mean to say this only happens in mice; it seems to be a more generic statement. And see the 4th paragraph from the bottom.

All the reports I've read showed alcohol reduced T levels by significant amounts for up to 72 hours.

That article should be taken with a grain of salt. There is no idea how they conducted the test and reporters aren't the brightest people on the earth (all due respect to Lou). Do you know how many fall for the annual "April Fools Day" parade sham?

[Lost Dog]

Excessive, chronic alcohol consumption lowers T, but some booze after a workout can boost it, if I remember correctly. There was an interview on an early fitcast or maxoutradio where they discussed this.
