I haven't drank more or faster than usual. I'm not pregnant, haven't been ill or lost weight. However, the last few times I've been out, I've ended up much much drunker (to the point of being sick) on no more, sometimes much less than I can normally drink and be fine. The only thing that's changed recently is for the last 6 weeks I've been taking Microgynon as a contraceptive. Does anybody know if this could be affecting my sensitivity to alcohol (or can suggest anything else that might?). p.s. I've had all the comments about embracing whatever's causing this as a means to a cheap night out! Once I'm happy it's nothing serious, i just might.

It ebbs and flows, you get used to it.

yes, swilling so much booze that you chuck up (Not a bit too much to drink, serious guzzling) means you lose the pill. As you were so pissed you forgot the next one it won't work either. not an attractive habit. Girls that drunk get raped or worse. And feet apart in the gutter is not a good look. learn a lesson.

When you are right before your period & right after your period you are more succeptible to the affects of alcohol.
It may be that the pill that you are on gives you the hormones that are high in your body naturally before & after your period?
Just be carefull, if you do throw up with the booze, that you haven't thrown up your pill.

It does sound as though the medication has changed your metabolism. Have a word with the pharmacist.
