"Drink responsibly, or you might fall victim to "whiskey dick." There are few men of drinking age who haven't experienced some performance challenges after a night of heavy drinking ― whether they struggle to get an erection or reach climax. In the moment, it feels like your body has cut power to your penis at the worst possible time, said Garrett, a 32-year-old sales executive from Seattle."
"Kelvin, a 31-year-old from Sydney, said he can "get his motor running" after over-drinking, but getting to the desired destination with his partner is touch-and-go. "It's much harder to reach full operation after drinking," he said. "It takes about 25 to 30 minutes instead of the usual 10 to 15 ― but the destination is eventually reached. My apologies are usually duly offered to the passenger.""
Alcohol can impair sexual performance, causing difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection or reaching climax after heavy drinking. Men describe a sudden loss of sensation or 'cut power' to the penis during sexual activity. Partner responses strongly affect emotional impact, with understanding reactions reducing anxiety and shame. Some men can still achieve erection or orgasm but require more time. The phenomenon is called alcohol-related erectile dysfunction (colloquially 'whiskey dick'). Medical specialists including urologists and sex therapists identify causes and recommend prevention and in-the-moment strategies focused on moderation, communication, and practical management techniques.
