Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol. Obviously alcohol affects everyone differently, but it's not uncommon to be a little more open, comfortable, and excited about having sex after a drink or two or several. But the psychological and physiological effects of alcohol on your sex life are a little more complicated than that. So BuzzFeed Life reached out to a few experts to explain what really happens when you mix booze and sex.

To be more accurate, small amounts of alcohol will do no harm to you sexually. But surprisingly moderate amounts of drink can really foul up your sex life. In addition, alcohol is really dangerous when you are trying to conceive a baby, and also in early pregnancy. Alcohol can cause sexual problems in both men and women. Also, it can make them behave differently, so that they have sex with totally unsuitable people.

The first two chapters of the thesis are devoted to laying the groundwork, with Hartley drawing heavily upon the belief that gender is not a static classification of male and female, but rather a socially constructed concept that is enacted through performance and adherence to norms and stereotypes. To elucidate this, Hartley draws upon empirical evidence to demonstrate that masculine representations of heavy alcohol consumption are often depicted by images of competitiveness and invulnerability, whilst women who drink heavily are often frowned upon and described in terms of vulnerability and at risk. Three hypotheses are proposed. This in turn influences their own attitudes and behaviours through perceived peer norms, and the social comparisons they make.
