Does Alcohol Affect Birth Control? Posted: 06-24-07 17:08pm
I am on the patch and drunk a little last
night. I had sex with my boyfriend and i
was wondering if the alcohol would cancel
my birth control.

No. To my knowledge, alcohol has
absolutely no effect on birth control of
any kind (except abstinence lol).

My doctor told me it could because your
body thinks the alcohol is a poison and is
overusing your liver which somehow does
not allow the pill to process completely.
I don’t know all the details but I asked
him and he explained it in doctors terms.
His bottom line though was that it is not
common but possible. I drink and take
pills and have never had a problem but it
is possible so…. I don’t know.

I also combined the two before and never
had a problem but that is what he told me,
I am not sure. Maybe it decreases the
chance by hardly anything. Check this out

he could probably be wrong. I didn't read
that in any books or anything, that is why
I quoted my doctor. ha-ha

Alcohol can only have an effect on birth
control if you vomit before the pill is
fully absorbed into your system.
