Tips for Improving Sexual Performance
Reduce Alcohol Consumption
Studies have shown mixed results for the effects of alcohol on ED.
Recent research has found that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol (fewer than 21 drinks per week, as defined by the study) was associated with a lowered risk of ED. On the other hand, regular and high consumption didn’t significantly affect ED.
Still, other research has linked alcohol use with ED. A 2018 study found that sexual dysfunction, particularly ED, was common in people with alcohol dependence syndrome. In addition, research from 2020 also identified alcohol as a risk factor for ED.
More research is needed on the role of alcohol in ED. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that men consume two or fewer alcoholic drinks per day.
