for context im in my early 20s and in a decent material condition rn so getting the AA isnt the problem, it's just deciding which to get

CW: mention of alcoholism

so a friend recommended bica and i was pretty much just about to get it until i saw in the warnings section (on this website: https://healor.com/bicalutamide_mtf) that it said "Do not use or use with caution if you drink heavily" and since i'm an alcoholic (and have been for quite a long time, tried to quit a few times but always started drinking again) i think that i probably shouldn't go with it.

so since i'm probably not going to be doing bica because of the alcohol related warning, what type of AA would you people advise i get instead?

edit: also how bad could it be if i just went ahead with getting bica anyway, is it worth just trying that out despite the alcohol risk? because it seems to be the best for what i want out of hrt that isnt ludicrously expensive

    hey, when i lived in england i was on bica - you can get it shipped from turkey, india, and russia (tho russia requires ALLEGEDLY circumventing sanctions). bica was pretty good for me because you only have to take 1 pill every 4 days.

    you can get your liver enzymes checked for free by your gp if you do decide to get on it, personally my liver enzymes didn't change one bit on it. and also there are people on reddit claiming that liver toxicity from bica isnt real (https://old.reddit.com/r/MtF/comments/vbv5mg/will_bicalutamide_cause_liver_toxicity/icbzzlc/)
