Common Questions and Answers about Viagra and drinking alcohol
viagra
I'm a white male, 42, non smoking, little alcohol drinking, and I exercise regularly. I'm not overweight. I have high blood pressure (hereditary) which I control with 40 mg Enalapril. Still, it runs around 130/85. I began having issues with ED about 4 years ago. 3 years ago, I began taking viagra. Initially, 25 mg was plenty. During the last few months, I have bumped it up to 50 mg, and in the last few weeks, even 50 mg has little effect. I have tried Cialis too, with a similar story...
Recently I used some viagra two hours before an encounter with my date. I started drinking after the taking the Viagra. The viagra did not work....I took another one and waited awhile and it still didn't work...I took one more and waited a while with no results.... I have used alcohol with viagra before and I performed well. Can someone tell what the issue might be...Its puzzling because I don't know why it didn't work. I could not maintain a hard enough erection to penetrate her....

i used to also regularly masturbate, like almost everyday
now i have realised that i have not been breathing well at night and havent woken up with an erection for a while.
It is the nature of alcoholics and addicts to always look for the magic pill (or drink) that will allow them to continue their substance abuse. My husband has done this as long as I've known him - since 1985 - but it's only recently become clear to me. They will do anything OTHER than stop the drinking that is causing all the problems. "If I just take this pill, the wife will be happy and I don't have to stop drinking.
I appreciate your efforts and expert approach. Firstly I don not smoke nor drink alcohol but I the first Suspicion should be stress. My wife told me this when she remembered those days I could go three or even four rounds and I may have been emotional with ill feelings those days as well.I will change some of my habits like staying and working long without rest may be sleeping late and waking up early.
We did have a really big night drinking the night before and tried to have sex a while after we woke up. Could the alcohol still affect his erection or could he have an STD that would stop him from getting an erection?
He can,t explain why he suddenly feels like this but I know he drinks far too much and wonder if this is the reason or if there is a medical cause. He had an operation for prostate cancer 3 years ago and for about a year could not get an erection, but apart from that he is now fine.
If you can sort the stress out then its probable that your sexual functioning will return to normal.
Alcohol and recreational drugs are for lots of people the major culprits. I do love a drink but the painful fact is that alcohol, except in very small amounts is very toxic. It’s also very seductive, so that one drink which might just calm the nerves before a potential sexual encounter, will frequently become plenty of drinks, leaving your erection something only to be dreamed of.
It might also be beneficial to get rid of factors like smoking/ alcohol/ drugs, if involved. Though medications such as Viagra can be used occasionally these are advisable under medical supervision with the lowest potential dose. If none of the changes seem to help, I would suggest considering an evaluation by a urologist for suggestion of an appropriate management plan.
Hope this helps.
Take care!
Finally, my husband went to yet another GP and got a prescription for Viagra, and that is where we are at now. Problem is, he won't use the Viagra. He says that he is so scared that it won't work, and then he will have to admit total failure as there will be no-where else to go from here.
Can anyone offer me any advice on exercises/activites I can try?
Do you think that he is just making excuses and that there is some other reason eg.
He had a vericole repair in the Fall in hopes that this would solve the problem, however nothing has changed. He has Multiple Sclerosis, drinks alcohol, and smokes cigarettes, which yes I know, he should quit, but is unlikely to do so. Can you think of anything physically (a blokage of the "vas deferens" or something) that we might be able to look into in order to make it easier for him to reach orgasm and ejaculate?

He has had a problem, so he says, with impotency for 6 yrs now. He is a chronic alcoholic. This said, I have accepted this all these years and have adjusted my life. Now all of a sudden and I mean all of a sudden on Easter sunday my husband has turned into a raging maniac. I can't change all of this pain, loneliness that I have endured all of these years, just because he is cured. I would like to know if this is normal behavior for alcoholics.
it will even go away if you're worrying too much about the situation. they say you shouldn't drink alcohol while taking medicine but I have in the past drink a little just to relax my nerves and also taken the cialis and as you can see I am still alive telling you my story. however, I take cialis because I believe I have a venous leak. If you're not experiencing a venous leak with your penis, then you don't need to take cialis.
Dear Suma,
Whats the age of ur husband ??
Does he smokes ??
Does he drinks alcohol ??
There may be many reasons for not getting erections, may be due to work stress or some other tension.
Wen u guys r making love, then u shud delicately involve in each other.
(Example - u r ready for sex both physically and mentally but ur husband is ready physically but thinking some thing else may be work or other issues, then how will he attain erection). I guess u got it
& yes, ur part can arouse him.
About 15 years ago I had a 6 month long heroin habit (snorting). I drink sometimes heavily. Every since I kicked the habit, I have not been able to acheive an explosive orgasm. Sex feels great, I get to the point of ejaculation and it feels like its going to burst forth but it trickles out. Is there any way to fix this. I have tried all of the usuals (viagra... etc.) nothing gives me that pre-heroin experience. NOTHING WORKS I have no problem getting aroused and staying aroused.
If I don't exercise, my chest gets very tight and is painful. Exercising seems to keep it loosened up. I do not drink or smoke and I try to watch my fat and calorie intake.
You realy need somebody to tell the truth dummy, you do drugs, you smoke, on holiday and drinking no doubt, eating junk food and getting little sleep, and you need somebody to tell you whats happening to your sex life.
My first thought is that especially if you are not used to drinking a high volume of alcohol, the the drinks were the cause of the first loss of erection. That is actually a common occurence when guys drink, and usually most girls know that-depending on their age and experience with bars and drinking. I also think that you're right about the possibility of your current state of panic and anxiety affecting your next performance and your current condition.
