answer
Having a few drinks before sex is a trick most guys with premature ejaculation (PE) and even some without it, have tried to help themselves last longer.

The bottom line: Alcohol may indeed slightly increase your stamina, but it isn’t an appropriate solution. The negative effects of alcohol overuse, including liver disease, depression, an increased risk of accidents, and, of course, addiction, are well documented. Plus, alcohol consumption can raise your risk of developing erectile dysfunction, a condition that often goes hand in hand with PE, particularly in older men.
