I take cialis and it stays in your system for 36 hours does that mean i cannot drink alcohol for 36 hours...?

Cialis & alcohol: The ban on alcohol with use of cialis-like drugs is not absolute. Excessive alcohol is contraindicated for 36 hours, but excessive alcohol is always contraindicated. A single glass of wine or beer is not necessarily a problem. Most forms of alcohol are mild depressants of sexual arousal, but you should know from past experience whether this is a problem for you.

Not necessarily: What the package insert warns against is "alcohol in excess." if you are planning one or two social drinks, it is unlikely to cause any problems. If you are planning a binge - 5 drinks or more - then it could cause dizziness, lightheadedness, low blood pressure, fainting and even worse problems in susceptible people. I just noticed you are listed as female. It is not indicated in women.
