All right, men. Let\u2019s get a show of hands: how many times have you had a couple of shots of liquid courage \u2013 or your favorite alcoholic drink \u2013 to get in the mood for some action?<\/span><\/p>\n

Alcohol has quite the reputation as a confidence and sexual performance booster. Unfortunately, we\u2019ve all had our moments of overconsumption, leading to an infinitely worse fate than the inevitable head-splitting hangover: whiskey dick.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, that shot of whiskey or glass of wine might get you laid \u2013 but drinking too much can and will diminish your performance and even get you a textbook case of alcohol-induced erectile dysfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is \u201cwhiskey dick\u201d?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whiskey dick is real and is better known as alcohol-induced erectile dysfunction (ED). Essentially, whiskey dick is a form of ED that may happen after alcohol consumption. You might be unable to produce an erection or have to make do with one that doesn\u2019t go as hard as you or your partner wish.<\/span><\/p>\n

While whiskey dick is usually just temporary, it can be a problem when it hits you just when you\u2019re about to enjoy a romp with your partner at the end of a romantic night out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, the question is: how many alcoholic beverages does it take to cause whiskey dick? As alcohol tolerance varies from person to person, there\u2019s really no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Factors such as how often and how much you drink and how your body reacts play a part in the whiskey dick equation.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does alcohol consumption cause ED?<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alcohol is a depressant, meaning it has a sedative effect on the central nervous system, including the brain and the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, alcohol\u2019s effects make you feel warm, uninhibited, and relaxed. However, its adverse effects are notorious: diminished motor skills, aggressive behavior, and lo and behold\u2026whiskey dick.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alcohol interferes with the circuitry of the systems involved in sexual function, arousal, circulation, sensitivity to sexual stimuli, and erections.<\/span><\/p>\n

When a person is sexually aroused, the brain instructs the penis to become erect. But when alcohol\u2019s intoxicating effects interfere with the signals emanating between the brain and the body, it may result in some degree of erectile dysfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, alcohol consumption causes dehydration, which diminishes blood volume and proper blood circulation. Since erections depend on a healthy blood supply throughout the body, this may result in problems functioning.<\/span><\/p>\n

If that\u2019s not enough reason to ditch the pre-game, alcohol may mess up your testosterone production, leading to potentially low libido and worse erections.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long-term alcohol consumption may also cause the veins to constrict, restricting blood flow to the penis.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do I avoid whiskey dick?<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In moderation (defined as having one to two drinks a day for men), alcohol may help relax and widen blood vessels, helping supply ample blood flow to help erections, increase libido, and fight ED. But binging on too much can interfere with nerve sensitivity in the penis, lower sexual desire, and cause ED, among others. Ultimately, getting the dreaded whiskey dick depends on how much you drink.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you avoid the whiskey dick trap? Simple: by keeping alcohol consumption on a low-moderate basis or avoiding it altogether. If you must drink, here are some pointers to prevent you from getting wasted:<\/span><\/p>\n
