It is usually said that there is a relationship between alcohol and sexual performance but this is quite tricky. In bible it is said that alcohol is like a love potion. It is said that it makes people horny and make them ready for the action. It is a stimulant which makes people sexually active. It generally opens us to sexual activities but can also lead us to some dangerous situations or acts.

Alcohol helps some people and makes them relaxed, enjoy and socialize. But there are some people who mix alcohol and sex or sexual activities. And this can impact the sexual activity. Many people take alcohol at the time of sex because it reduces their anxiety and make them more confident and relaxed. They think that this will make them have a good time with their partners. 

One or two drinks are quite beneficial for them but when take too much or when they are over drunk, this will have an adverse effect on the sexual performance and may also left both the persons unsatisfied. Some studies have shown that it makes women feel more aroused and they are able to reach their orgasm more easily. 

Some studies say that taking one or two glasses of red wine everyday is good for your heart and is also good for hypertensive people also by lowering the blood pressure in them.
