Alcohol - Aphrodesiac or Anesthetic?

Everybody knows that a couple of drinks can relax your mind, lower your inhibitions, and put you in the 'mood for love'. But when a couple of drinks becomes more like three, four, or five, alchol's depressant effect kicks in and snoring may be a lot more likely than sizzling.

I've heard lots of complaints about partners who come home from work, down 3 or 4 glasses of wine or 6-8 beers over the course of the evening, and fall asleep on the couch in front of the TV.
Not exactly a recipe for love - or love-making. Even if the interest is there, too much booze interferes with sexual performance - so you might get something started that you can't finish.

Bottom line - if you want a healthy sex life, watch your alcohol intake. The very thing that sexes you up may very well end up letting you down.
