I was wondering what effect alcohol has on the birth control pill.
Say if a girl on the pill, and has a few drink now and again.
Or what if she gets totally drunk once while on the pill?
Is the pill still effective?

Can you not read the instruction leaflet like everyone else?
It's a fair enough question though. So many things stop the pill being effective that you can never be entirely sure.
Plus my instruction leaflet once turned up in Greek, so that was a laugh to read
also, in regards to the original post, drinking wont affect the pill but if ur a sick drinker (like me lol), you need to make sure u aint sick within 3 hrs of takin ur pill
Thanks for the info everyone.
