It takes way more alcohol to keep a good dick down than was previously thought.
The latest research shows that having a blood alcohol level of .1 does NOT impact a guy’s ability to get an erection. That’s about four or five 12-ounce beers in 1 to 2 hours–which is more than enough to get a DUI, but not enough to get Whiskey Dick.
At most fraternities, having a blood alcohol level of ‘only’ .1 means you might as well have joined Alcoholics Anonymous. No one knows how erections fare at levels above that, although it probably takes a lot more than .1 to put a dent in a hard-on.
Also, alcohol-laced erections seem to do better while you are still drinking and your blood alcohol level is rising as opposed to when you’ve stopped drinking and your blood alcohol level is decreasing.
As for picking your poison, dicks don’t care if the alcohol is from whiskey, beer, wine, malt liquor, hard lemonade, tequila, vodka, gin, rum and Redbull, Jell-O shots, sake bombs, margaritas, martinis, Jagermeister, Kahlua, Everclear, Mad Dog 20/20, or anything else you can drink without it killing you. It’s all the same once it’s in your system.
The effect can be different if you slam it down all at once like with a body shot, or gradually sip it like a glass of wine. You’ll also get a different effect if you mix alcohol with caffeine as opposed to OJ.
Keep in mind that alcohol dehydrates your brain, so make sure you drink as much water as you urinate. And even though your drunken dick can still rise to the occassion, there’s no jury in the land that will consider it legal consent if your partner has been drinking even a fraction of what you’ve consumed.
