Some people say that a glass or two can help them to relax

The NHS of the United Kingdom has been issuing warnings regarding excessive consumption of alcohol. A leaflet which they produced recently was specially designed to appeal to younger men who tend to drink the most.

Among other things the leaflet warned that excessive consumption of alcohol could lead to erectile dysfunction, smaller genitals and reduced fertility. It is commonly known that drinking too much can cause temporary erectile dysfunction which is sometimes called Brewers Droop, however not many people know that excessive drinking over a long time can cause a more permanent type of erectile dysfunction as well as a host of other illnesses.

While the advice given by the National Health Service is sensible and commendable the authors of the leaflets have come under fire for including the line that excessive drinking could also mean that you wake up with “an ugly woman”. A number of Members of Parliament have said that this is offensive as well as ridiculous, but the National Health Service has said that it is important to reach out to individuals in a language that they can understand.

Some people say that a glass or two can help them to relax and since relaxation is an integral part of good erectile function and a healthy sex life. Sometimes therefore alcohol can have a good effect when it comes to love making, nevertheless it is important to understand your limits and you should be careful about using alcohol as a relaxant on a regular basis.

Excessive alcohol intake is not just bad for your sexual health in the long term but also your overall general health and excessive drinking when you are young could mean that when you are older you will be more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction.
