Well that does it. Next race I'm drinking a case of beer.

The effect of alcohol (1.2 and 2.0 g/kg) on the urinary
testosterone-to-epitestosterone (T/E) ratio was studied by two experiments
each conducted with four healthy females and males. The intake of 2.0 g/kg
of ethanol within 5 h in the evening significantly increased plasma
testosterone concentration and ratio of T/E in urine collected next morning
in females. The results suggest that alcohol increases the T/E ratio more in
females than in males. The effect of high doses of alcohol on urinary T/E
ratio must be kept in mind when doping tests are performed during training
periods.
