not even close lol
cancer? anything can give you cancer.
hairloss? thats genetic
moody? again, thats dependent on the person, do you get angry when you drink? etc same thing.
early death? lmao not even a little bit.
and well cardiac problems, again no.
Steroids can worsen cardiac problems by worsening the blood lipid profile (triglys and cholesterol). It can thus probably cause them, too.
The reason and mechanism for hairloss is not exactly known but dihydrotestosterone (iirc a metabolite of testosterone) is suspected to play a role. We don't know for sure doesn't mean there's no effect. Steroids also cause acne.
Early death is not the same as sudden death, and it really depends on other factors too.
Getting off alcohol takes half a day for most. Getting off steroid use isn't as simple.
Dunno bout cancer but the "anything can give you cancer" is a bullshit argument for steroid use.
Regardless of whether one accepts steroid use or not, the risks are there. Why would anyone reasonable downplay them.
