Alcohol markedly disrupts the normal menstrual cycle, however, you may be experiencing one of a variety of menstrual and reproductive disorders... from irregular menstrual cycles to complete cessation of menses or absence of ovulation. You can consult your gynecologist for an examination, advice, and a full consultation about the irregular menstrual period you've experienced.
