All men have trouble getting an erection from time to time, and the likelihood of this problem increases with age. If it happens to you often, though, you may have ED. Viagra is a prescription drug that can help men with erectile dysfunction. For many people, romance means candlelight, soft music, and a glass of wine. The little blue pill, Viagra, can be part of this picture, but only if you drink small or moderate amounts of alcohol. Viagra and alcohol Drinking alcohol in moderation seems to be safe when you take Viagra. There seems to be no clear sign that the risks of alcohol use are made worse by Viagra. A study published in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics found no adverse reactions between Viagra and red wine. However, research on this topic is limited. Still, just because Viagra and alcohol don’t seem to interact doesn’t mean that it’s a good idea to use them together. This is because chronic alcohol use is a common cause of ED. It’s so common, in fact, that a slang term for ED in Great Britain is “brewer’s droop.” So while you’re treating ED with Viagra, you may be doing yourself a disservice by mixing the drug with alcohol.

Here are some of their findings. These effects have to do with alcohol in general and are not specific to combining Viagra with alcohol. Still, if you have erectile dysfunction, you may want to consider how alcohol can influence your sexual health and performance. Effects on testosterone and estrogen Both binge drinking and chronic alcohol use can affect testosterone and estrogen levels. Testosterone in men is made in the testes. It plays a role in many functions of the body. It’s also the hormone most closely linked to male sexuality, and it’s responsible for the development of sexual organs and sperm. Estrogen is mainly a female hormone, but it’s also found in men. It’s linked with the development of female sexual characteristics and reproduction. If you’re a man, consuming more than a moderate amount of alcohol may lower your testosterone levels and raise your estrogen levels. Reduced testosterone levels combined with higher levels of estrogen may feminize your body. Your breasts may grow or you may lose body hair. Effects on the testicles Alcohol is toxic to testicles. Sources say consuming a lot of alcohol over time can cause shrinkage in your testicles. This reduces the volume and quality of your sperm. Effects on the prostate According to some sources, alcohol abuse may be associated with prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland). Symptoms may include swelling, pain, and problems with urination. Prostatitis may also be linked with erectile dysfunction. Causes of erectile dysfunction To understand why ED happens, it helps to know how an erection occurs. An erection actually starts in your head. When you become aroused, signals in your brain travel to other parts of your body. Your heart rate and blood flow increase. Chemicals are triggered that make blood flow into hollow chambers in your penis. This causes an erection. In ED, however, an enzyme called protein phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) interferes with this process. As a result, there’s not an increase in blood flow to the arteries in your penis. This stops you from getting an erection. ED can be caused by a number of factors. These can include health issues such as: increasing age
