Overview

Steroids and alcohol are two substances that can have dangerous interactions with each other. When combined, they can increase the risk of developing serious health problems. Alcohol can interfere with the metabolism of steroids, leading to elevated levels of the drug in the body. This can cause liver damage, increased risk of heart attack and stroke, and increased risk of psychiatric and behavioral problems.
