"This seems counterintuitive because it can also fool our brains into thinking we're confident and carefree, but alcohol is a depressant and slows down the function of your central nervous system," certified sex educator Anne Hodder told POPSUGAR.

As if it isn't enough of a bummer when our sexy-time plans go awry, alcohol often leaves us feeling sluggish and depressed the next day. What a miserable double whammy.
