Alcohol
Drinking a lot of alcohol might be fun while you’re doing it, but you may end up with more than a hangover:
- You might not be able to get an erection.
- If you pass out, you won’t be having fun anymore – neither will your friends, if they have to take care of you.
- You’re more likely to get in a fight or commit a crime. You could end up in jail or lose your driver’s license. You could also hurt someone you care about.
- You’re more likely to be in a car accident or injure yourself.
- You’re more likely to do something risky, like not use a condom or have sex with someone you didn’t intend to.
- You could die from alcohol poisoning.
Even if you’ve had just a couple of drinks and aren’t legally drunk, you’re still more likely to get in an accident than if you haven’t been drinking at all.
If you drink a lot over many years, you are likely to have:
- Increased risk of early death, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, epilepsy, cirrhosis of the liver, and cancers of mouth, esophagus, and liver.
- Loss of testosterone, impotence, loss of facial hair and chest hair, reduced libido, and larger breasts.

If You’re Bulking Up, Don’t Dumb Down
Guys who take steroids to build muscle may look impressive, but they’re putting their health at risk. Using steroids – especially a lot of them – can shrink your testicles and cause acne, impotence, depression, infertility, and make your breasts larger. Steroids can also damage your liver and other vital organs.Plus, using steroids without a prescription is illegal in the U.S.
Steroid users often use other drugs like insulin, human growth hormone, diuretics, and thyroxine to bulk up, While these drugs have real medical uses, taking them without a doctor’s OK can kill you.
Some people inject steroids. If they’re not using a new needle every time they shoot up, they run the risk of getting AIDS or other diseases. Be sure to use a new, clean needle every time to reduce your risk.
Cool-Sounding Drugs Won’t Make You Hot
If you’re tempted by all those “penis-enhancement products” in your inbox, well, don’t be. There is no pill, cream or any other kind of drug that will make your penis bigger. Some of these companies don’t even have a product. What really makes you a stud isn’t your size – it’s how you treat a woman, both in and out of bed. So don’t be a scam victim – if you want to impress her, spend your money on something smarter.
