Alcohol makes you high T, prove me wrong

Alcohol consumption increases Estrogen and significantly decreases Testosterone

Associations between both acute and chronic alcohol consumption and lower testosterone levels have been clearly demonstrated. Muthusami and colleagues, in a study on 66 alcoholic and 30 non-alcoholic men, found that chronic alcohol consumption significantly increased FSH, LH, and estrogen levels, whereas testosterone and progesterone were significantly decreased and prolactin (PRL) unchanged. 

Both acute and chronic Alcohol exposure causes a profound decrease in Testosterone

Both acute and chronic exposure of pubertal young male rats to alcohol induced a profound decrease in testosterone concentration that was associated with lower or normal LH and FSH levels, which is abnormal given that low testosterone in normal conditions signals to the hypothalamus to produce LHRH which in turn stimulates LH and FSH secretion and therefore stimulation of testis to produce testosterone

Alcohol consumption increases Cortisol

In an early study, Jenkins and Connolly15 showed that plasma cortisol levels significantly increased in healthy subjects at alcohol doses exceeding 100 mg/100 ml. In a recent study by Thayer and colleagues16, it was shown that healthy men who were self-reported alcohol consumption, had higher levels of excreted cortisol in urine

Alcohol impairs reproductive function (impairs your gonads/balls function)

Alcohol abuse and alcoholism are associated with disorders of reproductive function in both men and women. The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPG) and its hormones are essential for proper functioning of reproductive system. In alcohol abusers, the HPG dysfunction was shown to be associated with a decrease in libido, infertility and gonadal atrophy. Several studies have clearly documented that alcohol has deleterious effects on all three components of the HPG axis, the hypothalamus, pituitary, and gonad

Alcohol abuse decreases testosterone in adolescent boys

Alcohol abuse was also shown to induce alterations in puberty-related hormones in adolescent boys evidenced by significant reductions in testosterone

Alcohol decreases GH (Growth hormone) and impairs growth during puberty

Moreover, these same authors reported that alcohol increased hypothalamic growth hormone releasign hormone (GRH) content which was associated with a decrease in circulating growtth hormone (GH)54, suggesting that alcohol decreased GH secretion as a result of decreased GRH release from the hypothalamus. This alcohol-induced decrease in GH was also associated with a decrease in circulating IGF–I, which could explain the growth impairments observed in animals administered alcohol
