Like other recreational drugs, alcohol can temporary relax you which may seem to help your erections but, long-term, it depresses your central nervous system and impairs your sexual function… “drinkers’ droop” has real long-term effect.
‘Cause’ # 5 – Smoking and Alcohol … cigarettes harm and hamper circulation and blood supply and contributes to hardening of the arteries, including those in the penis.
‘Cause’ # 4 – Drugs… these include pharmaceutical and recreational – also combining the two can make it worse like, for example, Viagra and Ecstasy.
‘Cause’ # 6 – Hormonal Imbalances… while testosterone doesn’t directly dictate libido levels (think of young boys who get erections yet have close to zero testosterone) it does affect dopamine levels which trigger the erection chain-of-command (see below).

Anywhere between 35-50% of guys with diabetes suffer erectile dysfunction due to high blood-sugar levels and what can result is something called arteriosclerosis, which is the thickening and hardening of the walls of the arteries.
