Alcohol makes men BETTER in the bedroom, scientists claim

Men who worry about the effect drinking has on their sex life should raise a glass to the latest research.

Alcohol actually improves rather than damages male performance in the bedroom, it is claimed.

Until now it has been widely believed that alcohol consumption can cause erectile dysfunction, or 'brewer's droop'.

But a study of 1,580 Australian men found drinkers reporting up to 30 per cent fewer problems than teetotallers.

Even binge drinkers had lower rates of erectile dysfunction than those who never drank.

So-called low-risk drinkers, those who have four drinks a day for up to five days a week, fared best.

Worst were former drinkers who had given up the booze, along with smokers and victims of heart disease.

Weekend drinkers, high-risk drinkers and those who exceeded alcohol intake guidelines had lower rates of erectile dysfunction than those who drank one day a week or less.

The study concludes that if a moderate drinker suffers from such problems, there is no justification in advising him to stop or reduce his intake.

'These findings suggest a favourable association between low-risk drinking and positive erectile function,' it says.
