Does anyone use rogaine and also drink alcohol?

[sheamie95]

I was wondering if anyone who uses rogaine drinks alcohol socially and most importantly if its safe because im sure because someone starts using rogaine doesnt mean you have to quit having a few beers with your friends?

Probably 95% of us drink and use rogaine

I'm not a heavy drinker, and I don't even drink socially, I actually tell my friends/new people I meet that I don't drink at all. The only people i'm honest with is doctors or military. I only drink with my dad sometimes when watching boxing fights on Pay Per View. I have had no problems with drinking+rogaine but I will say that Dutasteride+drinking makes me feel like absolute crap. I actually did stop drinking now, for how long I don't know.

Why on earth would you have to avoid alcohol on rogaine?

There is an interesting article in the news that suggests Finasteride curbs a man's desire to drink:

I use Rogaine and usually have a glass or two of wine per night. I prefer Bass Ale though in the evening and two of those are enough for me.
