Viagra, alcohol and narcotics

Let’s agree that very often sex is linked with alcohol admission. It has no sense to convince everybody that sexual games in drunken state are not the most useful thing in the life. Apart from the risk of seeing not what you were expecting to see the next morning, you have a very high probability to harm your health, getting infected, etc.

I’m sure, all written above is well known to all readers, so I will not continue this topic. So, let’s return to alcohol and Viagra.

As far as I know, no special studies were made on this subject. However, to the date there is no data that the joint use of Viagra and alcohol (in small amounts) can lead to fatal consequences. I’ve heard only one story about Italian man who took Viagra with wine, and appeared in hospital. The amount of alcohol wasn’t mentioned.

It is difficult to resist the temptation to recall that ethyl alcohol is the substance depressing the central nervous system. Furthermore, adverse effect of alcohol on erectile function in men is well-known. So is there any sense to take Viagra, designed to enhance en erection, and to oppress this erection from the other side?

Regarding to narcotics, as in the case with alcohol, special studies had no place. However, if in the case of alcohol, you may start a conflict with your health, in the case of drugs you have a chance to the conflict with the law. The use and the spreading of drugs in every country is braking the law (do not pretend that you did not know).

When Viagra appeared in the UK, the drug was met with great enthusiasm among the youth. London, which is considered to be the center of "club-life", young people used Viagra during the events in the clubs. The cases when young people complaining doctors of pain in the heart and sometimes occurred heart attacks were not rare. The patients were 20-25 years old! It is known that angina (a heart condition) is very rare in young people.

Previously heart attacks among young people, as a rule, were caused by the use of cocaine, which can cause cramps of coronary vessels, but now young people found new know-how – they mix Viagra with the most popular drug Ecstasy. The new cocktail dubbed "Sextasy."

I think all of you well know that drug use is not “very healthy” and could lead to deadly complications and death. If these drugs are mixed with each other or different drugs, the chance to get complications or to die rises several times.

I’m absolutely not going to promote healthy lifestyles. I just warn of possible consequences of improper admission of Viagra, created to improve the quality of your sexual life, not to experiment with your own health.

Viagra. Safe after 80.

Every man knows “Playboy” magazine. But did you hear something about its owner.
His name is Hugh Hefner. He is 81 years old. End now he tells that his life has never been better than it is right now, the last half dozen years have been better than ever. I think not many persons may tell the same. Hugh lives with three, stunning blonde babes as his live-in girlfriends.
Thanks to Viagra, his life is so good, in fact, that despite a deep personal dislike of reality television, in all its forms, Hefner agreed to allow cameras into his home to film a series called Girls Of The Playboy Mansion - so we could all share his joy.
I don’t understand why Pfizer doesn’t use Hefner as Viagra’s ad. They try to put some Elvis in Viagra’s ad (Viva Viagra) but I think just telling Hefner’s story could be enough to double Viagra sales. A man after 80 satisfies 3 young girls – isn’t it amazing story. What we have got instead: Pfizer tries to present its ED pill as a party time drug.
Viagra was patented as the first erectile dysfunction medicine in 1996 by Pfizer Inc. After approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 1998, it was the first in the United States. For two years (1999-2001) sales exceeded $1 billion. Credibility was lent to the drug with ad campaigns featuring such people as Bob Dole.
In 2003, two other drugs were released. Cialis, by Eli Lilly & Company, and Levitra, from Bayer AG, were in competition for those suffering from erectile dysfunction. Lilly estimates that Cialis will be number one ED pill outside the USA this December. Pfizer answered with a change to their ad campaign. The FDA sent Pfizer a letter warning that the ad featuring a middle-age man sporting a grin and devil horns did not contain enough information concerning the side effects and risks with Viagra. When the warning letter went public, Pfizer pulled the ads.
Unfortunately, as far as Viagra is concerned, what happens in Vegas may NOT stay in Vegas when the use of Viagra as a party drug is encouraged with irresponsible ads like this-there is a real possibility of increased STD and HIV exposure a result of Pfizer's encouragementof the reckless use of its ED drug, Viagra.
