Can I take Viagra with food and alcohol?

It should be perfectly safe to take Viagra with food and moderate amounts of alcohol. However, you're likely to achieve best results sober and on an empty stomach.

Food, especially fatty food, can lengthen the time Viagra takes to work and can even decrease its effectiveness. You might need to take more to get the same effect, and that could increase side effects.

Alcohol is even worse. Many men find that alcohol hurts their ability to get an erection. Since the whole point of Viagra is to get a good, strong erection, it seems counter-productive to drink before taking it. This is especially a problem if the alcohol forces you to take a higher dose.

Some men report that Levitra works better than Viagra in combination with food and alcohol. So, if you like your love tipsy and/or on a full stomach, you might want to experiment with that alternative.

We always recommend using as low of a dose as you can. You'll have fewer side effects and have  less of an "unnatural" erection; the ideal is to take enough.
