Does drinking beer cause impotence?

Beer is a very important alcoholic beverage in life. It has a very popular taste and is acceptable to most people. It is not as stimulating and strong as liquor, which makes it difficult for first-timers to swallow it. Beer is an indispensable beverage for entertaining people at major banquets. However, since it contains alcohol, drinking too much will inevitably affect your health. Let's take a look at whether drinking beer will cause impotence?

Everyone knows that alcohol is not a good thing. Many people may not know how it can cause erectile dysfunction (ED) and impotence. Let's analyze it from the following aspects:

First: Impact on the nervous system

Drinking will briefly excite the cerebral cortex "headquarters", but it will soon turn into an inhibitory state. This will cause hasty sexual intercourse in this short-term state of excitement, resulting in excessive excitement, recklessness and roughness, or even loss of composure, which will easily lead to deviations in sexual ability and easily cause blame from the spouse. If sexual intercourse is performed after the state of excitement turns into inhibition, the occurrence of ED is more reasonable because the nervous system that controls sexual ability is in an inhibitory state.

Second: Impact of the vascular system

After drinking, people will feel hot and their face will turn red. Because a lot of blood is concentrated in the brain and skin blood vessels, if you have sex at this time, the sexual organs will suddenly need a lot of blood, and there will be a symptom of insufficient supply. When the fever and facial redness subside, a lot of blood will accumulate in the internal organs, and people will feel cold instead.

Third: Impact on sex hormone metabolism

After a man drinks a lot of alcohol, the amount of testosterone in his blood will decrease. This is because alcohol directly interferes with the testicles producing testosterone, and the liver speeds up the processing of testosterone, with a lot of testosterone being broken down and converted into other substances. A decrease in testosterone or an increase in estrogen can cause erectile dysfunction.

Fourth: Impact on overall physical condition

Men who drink frequently will show signs of weight loss, fatigue, and loss of appetite. In particular, the alcohol component will irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, which will seriously hinder the digestive function, causing a decrease in nutritional levels and sexual ability. It is not surprising if erectile dysfunction occurs.
