Does alcohol help with MPB? I’ve heard alcohol has estrogenic effects. THe reason I’m asking is b/c I have two older brother, one 41 and one 39, and the older one drinks fairly often and has no MPB whatsoever, but the younger one is Mormon and so doesn’t drink and has a receding hairline.
Nope. There is no connection between alcohol and balding. If there were, growing hair could become a real party time.

I have recently been through Rehab (which is working for me)and wondered if there was a connection between hair loss and drinking ( I am thinning badly) and wanted to know if it was likely the two are connected.
