Or, why can't I get it up and who is that in my bed?
Time for a reality check. True or False: Alcohol makes you feel great and you can have sex all night long.
Did you answer false? If you did, you're right! Alcohol is a drug that depresses the body's systems. To have intercourse, you need an erection. When your system is depressed, it takes more arousal to make it work. If your nerves, brain and body are moving slow, things aren't going to work the way you want them to. Also, smoking is a leading cause of impotence in guys as young as 30. Quit smoking before it happens to you.
People think that drinking alcohol makes them a better lover. Alcohol can inhibit thinking so people become less self-conscious and they try to show off. In reality, alcohol can help people make unhealthy decisions and run the risk of not using condoms or other protection.
It's important to keep your head together and know what your plan is when deciding to have sexual intercourse. Staying off or reducing the amount of alcohol is helpful for your health and your decision-making.
