There is a common drink that has often been blamed for ED. And according to a new study, rightfully so.<\/p>\nThere is a common drink that has often been blamed for ED. And according to a new study, rightfully so.<\/p>\n
But you can actually consume quite a lot of this drink before it begins to affect your bedroom performance.<\/p>\n
And I think the majority of men are going to be happy to learn just how much.<\/p>\n
In a 2016 study on men, Japanese researchers found out exactly how much alcohol men can drink safely without compromising their sexual function.<\/p>\n
They published their study in the journal Alcohol.<\/em><\/p>\n The study made use of 340 men between 19 and 70 years of age, all of them having undergone blood tests to exclude other medical conditions.<\/p>\n They tested men’s level of sexual function through a questionnaire called the Sexual Health Inventory.<\/em> The lower your score, the worse your ED is.<\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, both the heavy drinkers and those who drank the most regularly received the lowest scores on this inventory, meaning that they suffered the worst ED.<\/p>\n But what counted as heavy drinking?<\/p>\n Those men who consumed 60 or more grams of daily alcohol were the most likely to suffer from ED; the more alcohol, the worse the ED.<\/p>\n But those who drank less than 60 grams per day did not experience poor sexual function.<\/p>\n A 12 oz (350 ml) beer, 5 oz (150 ml) of wine, and 1.5 oz (45 ml) of distilled spirits all contain 14 grams of pure alcohol. The Japanese study measured its permissible grams as pure alcohol.<\/p>\n So less than four drinks of the examples above shouldn\u2019t hurt your erection too much.<\/p>\n However, when calculating weekly alcohol consumption, researchers found that the best results came from staying away from alcohol altogether.<\/p>\n
