Viagra and alcohol
Many doctors and healthcare specialists warn men against using Viagra in conjunction with alcohol. Even the package of Viagra itself has a warning against such mix. Why?
When taking alcohol, you risk experiencing the possible side-effects of Viagra that you might never experience when sober. Alcohol is a natural blood thinner, and if you read the instructions carefully, Viagra shouldn’t be taken together with blood thinning drugs. In fact, it’s highly advised to not take alcohol before undergoing certain procedures like tattooing or piercing for the same reason - if a bleed occurs it will be vary hard to stop.
Many consider alcohol as a “boost” for sexual appetite and performance, believing it might help achieve hard erections for longer periods of time. While this might be true in some cases and the dosage is not exceeded, taking alcohol together with Viagra is actually a bad idea. Men believe that if combining two drugs that stimulate sexual performance you can actually double the effect. But in reality, you can only worsen your sexual potency by using such a mix and instead of having hot sex, you’ll be struggling with increased heartbeat or severe headache, looking for a doctor.
