alcohol is a vasodilator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasodilator)

Any possible long term effects?

It falls off.

No, but seriously, I'm just a dick. Don't listen to me.

So if you get drunk, does your whole body shrink?

I don't know if it's been posted already, but you may have a small penis or be subject to a special preference known as homosexuality; or both.

umm while that is true. A vasodilator makes blood vessels bigger and allows more blood flow. Vasoconstrictors would make your dick smaller (less blood) vasodilators should make it larger. Thats why when you do a bunch of stimulants your dick can get all small, the blood vessels are constricted and the blood is mainly in the core of the body, not in extremeties, like dick, hands, feet....

alcohol lowers your blood pressure.

resulting in a small dick.

yeah it lowers blood pressure. but fuck you your wrong, do you think that every guy with high blood pressure has a huge dick? It is also a question of vasodialation in respect to extremities.

mouliani's right...although low blood pressure probably would have a (slight) effect on penis size. But i don't see it being that significant..

He's not. Genius.

Blood flow is measured as Q=AV, or Bernoulli's equation.

Pressure is lowered. Less blood gets pumped to the penis. Results in less bloodflow to the dick, so bad circulation. Bad circulation = slow erection/small penis/etc.

Just because you are able to cite a formula does not improve poor logic.

While we agree that amount of blood flow will influence size that is where our positions part.

Less pressure does not necessarily mean less flow.

If you have a garden hose with 20 gallons flowing through per minute, lets say the pressure is 50 PSI.

You could have a 3 foot wide drain pipe with 300 gallons flowing through per minute and the pressure might only be 20 PSI.

See ? More flow can come in situations with less pressure (When the diameter of the vessel changes)

The most important feature here is vasodilation, rather than strictly considering blood pressure.

While my example is somewhat extreme it illustrates the principle I am trying to convey. Restated, that is, the pressure and the size (diameter) of the vessel both influence both pressure and flow which are tied together. In a penis/blood question vasodilation is going to be a much larger concern than blood pressure. Especially as blood pressure is completely systemic and vasodilation has the tendency to affect some parts of the body more than others (note the core is always full of blood, so vasodilation doesn't change much there, it changes the extremities. )

Thanks for playing

Nope. Flow (Q) is a constant given a system, regardless of diameter of piping. That means that given a constant Q, and an increase in Area A (vasodilation) we have a lower Velocity V meaning it takes longer to pump out old blood and pump in new blood.

If a vessel is constricted it will take more pressure to pass fluids through it. Assuming that pressure is a constant then depending on the constriction level less blood overall will make it through (in a closed system). Obviously pressure is not a constant. But this is how I am illustrating my point that constricted vessels mean less blood flow to the penis. If the vessels to the extremities are constricted then blood follows the rules of any other liquid under pressure, it goes the route of least resistance. So at some point a vessel can become constricted enough to limit flow to extremities. That, and that constriction is the limiting factor (not blood pressure) is are my only contentions in this argument. You obviously have some medical knowledge, this may be a semantic disagreement.
You seem to be saying that blood pressure being lowered is the reason for the affect. I agree that blood pressure is lowered and that is a factor, but I contend that the most important factor is the constriction or dilation of vessels. Both because of reasons I discuss above, and because vasodilation affects certain parts of the body particularly where blood pressure is a systemic issue.

But you're missing the point. Flow rate is constant. It's monitored by the heart beat, and friction in the veins and arteries.

Also, since veins dialate, there's more surface area, leading to less velocity.

Also, since alcohol is a depressant, it slows down the heart causing less velocity.

All these factors, and you've got less flow, and less velocity(circulation).

Rykoshet wins.

Facts:

-Alcohol dilates blood vessels
-Alcohol makes it more difficult to get/maintain an erection

Formulas aside, those two statements are true.

Really? Mine gets bigger.. or maybe I'm so drunk I think it does. All I know is when I get a bit of a buzz going my dick gets a.. 1/4th boner or something. kinda cool.

When im drinking, its basically the same as when it is warm outside, not an erection but def. more blood, more size. It probably is a fairly individual reaction, but I still stand by the vasodilation effect of alcohol as the reason it makes things bigger. Vasodilation affects extremeties particularly where blood pressure is a system wide effect. anyway, to each their own
