Alcohol, while moderate alcohol might not have a significant impact. However, excessive drinking, like, for instance, more than 10 to 14 drinks a week, will affect the blood flow to the penis. Now, drinking beer has a higher sugar content than if you're going to drink like a cocktail. You're going to drink like maybe bourbon or vodka or tequila or gin. For a small amount of sugar.
