How many days until this social occasion?
I wont lie to ya,.. there have been more then one occasion where I drank on cycle. BUT,.. I cant tell you what harm it did,.. NOT SAYING THAT NO HARD WAS DONE,.. I just cant quantify the additional damage to my liver...
This is all beside the fact that you dont HAVE to drink,.. or drink 6-8 beers... of that you cant have 2-3 real beers, and the rest non-alcholic... It's not like this is unevoidable
If this event is a few days away, I would say just put off your cycle until afterwards. There are always things you can take a few extra days to do that ca nimprove your cycle: plan your diet better,.. do a little more grocery shopping, sit down and write your routine, examin other areas that may assist you in reaching your goals.
