Hello again! I think I read somewhere that you shouldnt drink alcohol while on NBE routines as well as carbonated drinks, but I cant seem to find it again.
Is this true and if so do you know why?
TIA

I think maybe carbonated drinks might interfere with the absorption of the herbs. If I remember correctly, some herbalists at least say they slow the absorption down. As for alcohol, I believe some herbalists actually mix herbs with alcohol, so it can't be regarded as bad by everyone. I think the reason some people say you shouldn't take it for breast enhancement is something to do with alcohol dehydrating the body.

Yes, alcohol is a diuretic which has an effect not only on your hydration status, but also on your body's ability to absorb and assimilate nutrients, both of which are important for using the phytoestrogens to encourage breast growth. Some herbs do contain a grain alcohol base, but the amount is miniscule compared to one serving of alcohol. I mean, we're talking 15-30 ml(15ml = approx. 1/2 oz) versus 6-8 oz per glass of wine, we won't even go into a can or bottle of beer.
Either way, this information is for optimizing growth. People have drunk carbonated drinks and alcohol and still had some growth. I would just recommend that it be kept to rarely to get the best results.

prettysoulful,
That is pretty good information. I didnt realize that. I don't drink carbonated drinks at all..i drink lots of water but I DO have a couple drinks a week...usually about two nights out of a week i will have 3-4 beers each of those evenings. Do you think this is enought to interfere with my growth?? I haven't seen much so far but its only been 2 weeks??

Jen,
My best advice would be to forgo the alcohol and carbonated drinks until you have given your breast a chance to grow. If you can pass on the beers and sodas altogether for a month, it will give your body a chance to kick start the growth process. Then you can decide if you would like to add in alcohol. A big part of growing is just eliminating anything that might hinder growth.

But is it not true that some women are deliberately drinking alcohol to get the hops in it which is good for breast growth? (sorry I'm new here and still trying to understand everything).

i think of it like this,,,, there are plenty of prescribed medicens that state not to take with caffine (coffee) or not to consume alcohol several hours after taking it, im on 1 prescribed medicine that says not to drink grape fruit juice while on the tablet. so i guess this might account for the herbs too, there may be seveal things that inhibit how the herbs work xx

Beer for hops intake
March 16 2006, 3:28 PM
I did read that some women have reported growth from dinking 2-3 beers a week. I dont know how much hops is in beer, but I wouldnt think it would be enough to really do anything, so I kinda disagree with what I read about that. I would understand it "bloating" you more than getting booby "growth" from it. I could be wrong, but thats my interpritation of the whole thing.

look, hops and beer are two different things. you cant expect to suppliment hops by drinking beer. ive never heard of beer actually having high estrogen acivity or have breast enhancing propertyies. if that were the case most men wouldnt drink it. some people , however believe that the alchohol will stimuate more prolactin release which is true and stimulate an increase amount of estrogen. am i confusing you yet...lol. its called obesity not breast enhancement or enlargement. the increases in prolactin, cortisol, estorgen etc all help to store fat all over the body so there is no targeted effect on the breasts. just a propotional destribution of fat all over the body. maye in the rare case you hear a story about a women drinking beer and only developing larger breasts but thats the exception to the rule. most excessive alcohol drinkers (who are women) dont get so lucky.
alcohol can cause breast enlargement but only in excessive drinkers who drink to get overly drunk several night a week for years. not only do they get larger breasts but they get fat around the midsection and their face looks disgusting. i wouldnt use beer or alchohol to suppliment Phytoestrogens or boost prolactin. there is no safe way to consume alchohol in the large enough amounts needed to be effecive for NBE and small drinks every day or so wont do a thing to significantly raise hormone levels for NBE. as far as how it affects herb absoroption, i dont know. but just like coffee and carbonated drinks you need to cut down on them but a drink now and then wouldnt hurt NBE.its probably more important to watch your carb intake from foods you eat and cut your refined sugars intake to keep testosterone levels down.
