Does alcohol reduce testosterone levels

But your diet will only help your T levels so much if you down too much booze. "Alcohol wreaks havoc with a man's sexual-response cycle," says Spark. It does this in many ways, including by inhibiting Testosterone production in the testes themselves. In a study by the New York Medical College, andrologists gave moderate amounts of alcohol - just one glass of wine or beer per day - to male volunteers with normal T. In only four weeks, this resulted in measurable reductions in the testosterone secreted from the testicles - and in a concurrent reduction of testosterone in the blood. If a month of light drinking can cause a detectable dip, think about the nosedive your testosterone would take if you were to really tie one on. So when you decide to imbibe, try to at least set a two-drink limit. You'll help conserve the commodity your twins worked so hard to create.
