No, veins showing is a sign of good vascularity. There are too many variables to list to determine by monitoring his temper and attitude if he is taking steroids. However, there are many physical side effects of steroids. Some of these effects never happen and others are more severe. These include :
Cancer...
Liver Damage...
Feminizing effects in males (growth of breast tissue)...
Male attributes in females (deepening of voice, excessive hair growth)...
Enlarged clitoris...
Shrunken testicles...
Limb loss...
Heart disease/heart attacks...
Physical addiction...
HIV/AIDS from the sharing of needles...
Reduced sperm count...
Impotence...
Infertility...
Baldness...
Pain and difficulty urinating...
Enlarged prostate...
Baldness...
Smaller Breast in women...
Menstrual cycle stops...
Adolescents experience premature closure of the growth plates (stunted growth)...

As you can see there are A LOT of side effects of steroids. I suggest you do not accuse him of taking steroids because if he is he probably wont like you saying that. I suggest you get someone very close to him to indirectly educate him about the side effects of steroids if that is the case. However, this is my personal advice and dont take this as 'the word'.

Have a good day,

PT.
