Alcohol and ED – What’s the Real Connection?

A drink or two might loosen you up—but too much alcohol can wreck your erection. Alcohol affects your nervous system and blood flow, both of which are essential for getting and keeping an erection. Over time, heavy drinking may even cause permanent erectile dysfunction (ED).

Short-Term Effects

• Slower nerve signaling
• Reduced sexual sensitivity
• Difficulty maintaining erections during intoxication

Long-Term Risks

Chronic alcohol use lowers testosterone, damages blood vessels, and increases depression—all of which worsen ED. If you find yourself relying on alcohol to “feel confident,” it may be time to re-evaluate.

Solutions

Cutting down on alcohol often restores function. ED medication can assist short-term while you work on healthier habits.
