The danger, as far as I understand it, with oral steroids is the the liver has to process the drug twice where as only one time with IM.

I think you can do more damage to your liver with a night of binge drinking than a once a week intramuscular injection of testosterone. Matter of fact, I've had full blood work done and a couple of multi-million dollar insurance policies that required complete physicals...and no liver damage of any sort was detected.
However, if you take steroids orally you WILL destroy your liver faster than an alcoholic. A buddy of mine was taking some Anavar (one of the least liver toxic oral steroids) and he was getting his insurance policies at the same time as I am. They detected liver damage...and he had only been taking the Anavar for a couple of weeks! He stopped taking that and stopped being a pussy scared of needles, and had bloodwork done again for the policy a month later and passed.
