Doctor says 'Drink beer every day for healthy sex life'

A Czech doctor is advising men to drink beer every day to keep their sex lives active.

Prague-based Dr Pavel Zemek said: "If men drink two beers a day they can stave off impotence."

Dr Zemek of the Czech Centre for Gerontology says his research shows beer can have a "powerful effect" to stop the arteries becoming blocked.

He told Slovak daily Narodna obroda: "On the basis of clinical tests we can say moderate amounts of beer lessens arterial sclerosis, one of the causes of erectile dysfunction."

But he's warning against excessive drinking.

He said: "Drink too much beer in one go and the positive effects are negated, but, as the saying goes, a little bit of what you fancy does you good."
