There’s a study here that finds no interaction between viagra and red wine ...

There’s also the point that a small amount of alcohol increases your proclivity for sex (reduces social anxiety, increases testosterone and libido) but too much has the opposite effect.
Let’s face it, some ugly Romanian cow that is nothing like her photos looks a damn site better after a double vodka (and vodka doesn’t make you smell pissed).
Another much-quoted study, while repeating the mantra “just say NO” (( “Although taking sildenafil in combination with alcohol is not recommended, no major side effects with low, ‘social', amounts of alcohol have been reported (Leslie et al., 2004; Grinshpoon et al 2007) )) actually points out another advantage: “In conclusion, PDE V inhibitors such as sildenafil might help prevent the unwanted gastric side effects of alcohol. It therefore appears that, in addition to the powerful anti-impotence therapy for which they are now famous, drugs such as sildenafil have the potential to provide significant gastroprotection not only from gastric damage induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, but also from alcohol-mediated mucosal injury”.
On the blood pressure thing, here’s a reassuring article:
External Link/Members OnlyIf you have normal or high blood pressure it seems it’s hardly likely to be that big a deal. If you have low blood pressure it’s more of a concern though one drink (1 unit) is hardly likely to kill you. Viagra potentially lowers your systolic blood pressure by up to 10mmHg. If you’re into measuring such things, that will give you a clue.
