TToB: Athletes who use steroids are less likely to drink alcohol and use marijuana. Tough or Bluff???

Comments

It’s BLUFF! Researchers found that the use of performance-enhancing drugs (like steroids or creatine) was associated with more drug and alcohol use.

Bluff. Someone who takes one drug is more likely to take other drugs, regardless of whether it's "performance enhancing" or otherwise.

Hm. Interesting. I say bluff, because I feel like the threshold for risk-taking is lower in those who use steroids. I think of steroids as risky. Further, I suspect that those using steroids are generally morerisk-seeking than those who don't. And then there are just all the behavioral effects of steroids that also lower threshold once a person is using steroids.

I'm thinking tough, as people who take steroids are (in my experience) very interested on their bodily performance or appearance. So I'm thinking they are less likely than average to consume these substances that could impede their progress.

though, taking performance enhancing drugs and staying away from performance decreasing drugs just makes sense
