I`d have been a norwood 7 by the time i was 20 so imo i dont think it causes baldness.

I agree if that were really the case, I would be a N7. Drink up guys! Life is short.

Beer is good for you.

I thought the same thing after I spent 4 months in Ireland getting shit faced and my hair looked awful. Good thing everyone else was too drunk to notice. But I do know that red wine increases HDL which decreases blood cholesterol and cholesterol is used to make sex steroids....so I think it helps. Either way high HDL is associated with a long life so you may be bald, but your gonna live a long time. Maybe even long enough to see a permanent cure, so drink to that.

Yea and drinking also causes free radicals in the body which can lead to high levels of toxins in the body ...My aunt was an alcoholic and she was pretty bald we used to make fun of her as a child how things change..

Hair loss causes drinking.

Alcohol is a diuretic, so it causes accelerated dehydration. A lack of body fluid causes dry and brittle hair. Excessive alcohol consumption can deplete levels of iron in the body, leading to hair loss.

Really hard to say because my Gf's dad can drink 5/6 cans a night and he's mid 50's with the perfect hairline, i mean sickly jealous norwood 1 hairline, my dad used to drink a lot when working away and he had hippy hair into his 70's, my uncle drinks like a machine but again decent norwood 2 in his 60's but my Aunties husband Norwood 7 at 60 and since he was mid 40's and my Gf's Brother drinks alot after work and is now thinning at 30. Notice Drinkers go Grey earlier though.
