creatine and alcohol

Your body has 2 main ways of clearing out chemicals, your liver or kidneys. 

Creatine and alcohol are both processed by the liver, and large amount of either (or both) will cause liver damage as the liver tries to keep up.

Also, creatine can seriously dehydrate you, which is why if you're using it properly you'll need to drink LOTS of water (urine should be almost clear all the time and you'll probably be going to the bathroom every hour).  Alcohol also dehydrates you (that's mostly what a hangover is, a really bad dehydration headache).

So if you're using creatine you really shouldn't be drinking.  Or be nursing one drink most of the night.

I personally don't think the benefits of creatine are worth the risks or expense, but you've already made that decision for yourself, and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you did some reading and chose carefully.

The only risk yu have is that 80% of the creatine that is out there has other substances in it than creatine.

And a large number of those other things mixed in with the creatine are also toxic to the liver.  

I think of dehydration and liver toxicity as the main risks.  I knew some people who used to take it in high school, and honestly it didn't seem to make much of a difference.  It seemed to make them look a little swollen, and maybe help them squeeze out another rep or two in the gym.  Never seemed it was worth it to me.  It was really expensive and I didn't want to gain 5lbs of water and try to pretend that it was muscle

If you think it's right for you, and you have the money to burn, go ahead and try a cycle or two.  Just keep very well hydrated.

well i talked to my sports teacher which studied the sport thingy, dunno how u call that in english, several times about training, protein and other supplements and he told me that it is made sure that theres nothing else in there and that itis save to buy it if u do so in an offical store.
so i should always buy it in a store and never in the internet especially not when the supplement is commin from the usa he said

Personally I do both, (alcohol one night per week) on the night I plan on drinking alcohol I don't have the creatine (I will take the dose in the morning but not at night). Then when I get home after drinking I will drink ALOT of water and get back to the creatine the next day. Never had any 'ill' feelings or anything. Not ideal I know but im still gaining strength etc... so it can't be effecting me that much, the only thing I worry about is my liver, how would you know if it's being over worked? lol
