Man Reveals What Four Months Of Steroids, No Workouts And 24 Beers A Day Did To His Body

Peter Mossfield has placed $60,000 on an experiment that most people would refuse to attempt. The 31-year-old says he is trying to reach the best shape of his life and step onto a bodybuilding stage, despite taking an approach that goes against almost every normal part of contest preparation.

Unusual wagers are not new to him. Mossfield says he previously won thousands after betting that he could become addicted to alcohol and then quit, a challenge he claims he completed.

His latest bet has now been running for four and a half months. This time, the goal is not just to finish the challenge but to change his body enough to enter a bodybuilding competition with the money still on the line.

The part that makes the experiment so extreme is what Mossfield says he has left out. He has continued drinking as many as 24 alcoholic drinks each day while avoiding exercise altogether.

He had first planned to follow a normal bodybuilding routine and use weight training to shape his physique. After deciding he did not want to keep going to the gym, however, he began relying on anabolic steroids instead.

The physical change may be visible, but appearance alone cannot show whether someone is fit or healthy. Defined muscles do not reveal what may be happening to blood pressure, the heart, the liver, the kidneys, or a person's mental health.

Mossfield has documented the process through his @boozebagfitness accounts, where he posts regular progress updates. His recent clips show a much leaner frame, visible abdominal muscles, and far more definition in his arms than he had at the start.

While discussing the contest in a video shared on TikTok, he told viewers they would: "See me on stage very soon and what a sight that's going to be."

The clip then switched to footage of Mossfield without a shirt. He flexed his arms and torso for the camera, giving followers a closer look at the result he says he achieved without lifting weights.

'If I'm throwing up, that's going to make me even leaner'

When Mossfield recorded the update, he said the bodybuilding show was around three weeks away. He had started reducing his intake from 24 drinks toward zero so he could appear as lean as possible when he walked onto the stage.

The break was not meant to end his year-long drinking challenge. Mossfield said he planned to make up the difference after the competition by consuming 26 to 27 beers a day, allowing him to maintain an average of 24 drinks for every day of the year.

Explaining why he planned to stop for the show, he said: "I'm not cutting back on zero drinks because I'm an alcoholic or I need to get sober or I'm out of control or plan on being sober long-term."

"I'm cutting down because I want the four days prior to the show to be as shred as possible. If I'm withdrawing, if I'm sweating, if I'm throwing up, that's just going to make me even leaner."

Sweating and vomiting can be signs of alcohol withdrawal rather than useful tools for losing water weight. For a person whose body has become dependent on alcohol, reducing a very high intake can require medical care.

Mossfield has also claimed he was 'targeted' by people from the fitness and bodybuilding communities. He believes criticism of his experiment contributed to restrictions being placed on his social media accounts, although that remains his explanation for what happened.

Why suddenly stopping heavy drinking can be dangerous

Mossfield's comments about withdrawal add a separate medical risk to the challenge. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism warns that suddenly stopping after prolonged heavy drinking can cause a painful and potentially life-threatening withdrawal process.

Possible symptoms include nausea, sweating, shaking, a rapid heart rate, severe confusion, and seizures. The risk depends on a person's drinking pattern, health, and level of physical dependence, so it cannot be judged from appearance or a social media video.

Anyone who has been drinking heavily for a long period should seek medical guidance before trying to stop. Vomiting, sweating, or becoming dehydrated should not be treated as a safe shortcut for looking leaner before a competition.

According to Mossfield, the restrictions have caused a steep fall in his viewing figures and are 'throttling' the number of people who see his posts.

He believes some fitness figures see his progress as a threat to the programs they sell. "They're very upset that I'm ruining their businesses by showing how quickly you can get jacked just off taking gear and not off lifting," he claimed.

"Which obviously destroys their business model, preaching people need specific training programmes that they need to pay them for."

Mossfield asked viewers to follow his available accounts so he can show them what happens when he finally enters the bodybuilding contest.

He has already outlined several other stunts he hopes to try. His plans include running a marathon while smoking cigarettes, spending six months training only his biceps and shoulders, and building a home gym where he can drink while lifting weights.

Plenty of followers have encouraged him and continued watching the experiment. Others have focused less on the physical change and more on the possible long-term cost of the steroids, alcohol, lack of training, and extreme behavior.

"Bruh you're going to either die or long term medical and mental issues! Please stop," one person wrote in the comments.

Another viewer acknowledged how fast Mossfield's body had changed but questioned what might follow once the challenge ends: "By the way, I think it's just unhealthy. I mean the progress is wild... like years in like months. But I wonder about the impact after."

The comments reflect the main concern surrounding the experiment. A rapid visual transformation can look impressive on a screen, yet some of the most serious effects of steroid misuse and heavy drinking may not be visible until medical problems develop.

Why the visible transformation does not tell the whole story

Anabolic steroids are prescription medicines that copy some of the effects of testosterone. They can be used for limited medical reasons, but some people take them without medical advice to increase muscle size or improve athletic performance.

The NHS guidance on anabolic steroid misuse makes clear that these drugs are not the same as corticosteroids. It also warns that using them to look bigger or perform better can cause addiction and serious physical and psychological effects.

Some users take several drugs, follow cycles, or add other medicines in an attempt to control unwanted effects. The NHS says there is no evidence that methods such as cycling, stacking, or pyramiding remove the dangers caused by anabolic steroid misuse.

The muscle-building effects do not cancel out the possible harm. Steroid misuse can affect hormones, fertility, blood pressure, mood, and major organs, even when the person using them appears lean and muscular.

"Anabolic steroids are often used to build muscle and enhance performance, but they can be dangerous if used incorrectly or without medical advice," Dr Kathryn Basford at Asda Online Doctor told LADbible.

"This is because regularly taking anabolic steroids can lead to both physical and psychological changes, as well as certain dangerous medical conditions."

For men, possible effects include a reduced sperm count, infertility, shrunken testicles, erectile dysfunction, hair loss, breast development, severe acne, and an increased risk of testicular cancer.

Other medical complications can include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, blood clots, heart attack, stroke, and liver or kidney damage. Psychological effects may include aggressive behaviour, paranoia, mood swings, manic behaviour, hallucinations, and delusions.

Heavy alcohol use carries its own risks for the heart, liver, brain, blood pressure, and mental health. That is why drinking large amounts of alcohol while misusing anabolic steroids is not recommended, regardless of how quickly the combination appears to change someone's physique.
