Of this ordinary drink, your libido decreases the most

Do you want to have sex, but are you planning to toast together? This alcoholic drink lowers your libido the most. So maybe... You better not pour this.

If you care about your sex life, at least.

There is one basic rule in particular: never drink too much. Then you are likely to be too tired and sluggish to really get it on. Do you drink just one glass? That can be good for your sex drive. But do you drink seventeen and a half bottles? No, that's not good. Look, in your whole adult life, the rule applies: do it in moderation. Work in moderation, party in moderation, shop in moderation. Sorry, boring but true. Always drink alcohol in moderation if you want to come across as somewhat flattering in bed. Being sexy between the sheets doesn't work after too much drink. And it doesn't matter what exactly you drink.

Okay, which drink should you avoid, even in lesser amounts? In particular, red wine is the culprit when it comes to sex after a cheers. Red wine contains chemicals like resveratrol, which dilate blood vessels, improving blood circulation – good for relaxation but less favorable in higher amounts, as this can have a sedative effect and reduce libido. This applies to both men and women.

But what applies more to men alone? Beer. Beer also contains phytoestrogens (plant-based estrogens) that, when consumed excessively, can affect testosterone levels in men. This effect, often combined with the higher volume of drinks needed to get drunk, can suppress libido and reduce sexual performance. Because a beer doesn't get them tipsy. So often a lot is needed, which means that after a lot of beer, they can do less and less.

Should you choose between wine or beer? Then red wine seems to have the most effect with excessive intake due to both hormonal and physiological changes in the body. So just toast with a good glass of champagne, or a glass of rich Chardonnay. And then you can just dive into bed right after that one decent glass. It also saves you from a miserable hangover.
