Alcohol and testosterone?

I’m not a drinker. But recently the last two weekends I’ve binged drank 6-7 drinks. I’m 19 and I’m in college. I am now paranoid that I messed up my testosterone or leydig cells. Is that the case or am I worrying about nothing? Also does testosterone return to normal once you stop drinking?

Dear Patient,

You have not hurt yourself; your testosterone will normalize.
