Combination of Viagra Intake with Alcohol: Compatibility and Rules.

There is an opinion that Viagra and alcohol are perfectly combined with each other. They say that a couple of glasses can improve the efficiency of the stimulant, which makes the erection stronger, and the sexual act – longer. Let’s try to find out the truth.

Is it Dangerous to Take them Simultaneously?

Actually, there is no a stringent prohibition to take Viagra and alcohol simultaneously. The key reason is that Viagra active ingredient, Sildenafil, isn’t compatible with ethanol. But still most doctors don’t recommend to drink before medication intake. There are 4 reasons to explain this:

Excessive drinking negatively affects male potency and the med may happen to be noneffective. And taking more than 1 pill a day is quite dangerous;
Both Viagra and alcohol put stress on heart. In the case of heart diseases, simultaneous intake of the pill and alcohol may cause increase in arterial blood pressure, short wind, chest pain and headache. In some cases, it may lead to a heart attack;
Viagra and Alcohol have similar after-effects. Simultaneous taking enhance these side-effects. A patient may suffer splitting headaches, nausea, indigestion and dizziness and may definitely lose all his sexual appetite;
Simultaneous drinking lots of alcohol and Viagra intake may seriously harm liver. Potency booster interrupts liver capability to split chemicals. As a result, ethanol needs more time to excrete from the body. If you consume alcohol and a stimulant often, the liver will stop functioning normally, which can lead to serious health disorders.

Allowable Quantity of Alcohol

According to the specialists’ opinion, Viagra intake is relatively safe together with:

100mL of Vodka;
400mL of wine;
500mL of beer;
300mL of small gin;
400mL of the champagne.

This amount of alcohol is even useful for men’s strength and increases the action of Viagra. There is a rational basis: for example, if the cause of a weak erection lies in problems with blood circulatory system (when the blood circulation in the penis is not sufficiently active), then together with a moderate dose of alcohol, Viagra is able to increase blood flow, thus improving metabolic processes. But if sexual disorders are caused by psychological problems, then a couple of glasses of wine together with Viagra pill will be helpful. They will make a man more relaxed and unselfconscious, which is very good for the erection and the duration of sexual intercourse.

Is it Possible to Take Viagra after Alcohol Consumption?

Alcohol doses listed above are considered to be maximally possible dosages and we strongly recommend not to exceed them. But if you still don’t want to limit yourself in drinking, then you should know the time when you can do it after Viagra intake. This medical preparation starts acting quite quickly – in 15-35 minutes after the very intake. But the remedy is excreted from the body in 3-4 hours.

Now let’s consider the opposite situation: if a man had drunk a lot of alcohol before, when can he take Viagra?

Everything depends on the variety of the drink:

Three glasses of wine are removed from the body in 7-8 hours.
100 mL of cognac are cleared in 5-6 hours.
200mL of vodka is excreted in 9-10 hours.
4 glasses of champagne are removed in 2-3 hours.

This time is rather qualifying, since the duration of ethanol removal depends on many factors. That’s why we advise you not to take Viagra after taking a large amount of alcohol for a minimum of 24 hours – during this time alcohol will definitely leave the body.

It is acceptable to use Viagra with a moderate amount of alcoholic beverages. If you want to drink a lot, it is better not to risk your health and not to take medications for male enhancement.
