Alcohol, Birth Control, Weak stomach...?

Question

I have never drank alcohol before and will be soon (birthday). I take my birth control everyday at night.

I was wondering if there is a good amount of time to start drinking after taking my birth control pill.

Being that I am a first time drinker, I really do not know how my body will react to alcohol or how fast I may or may not throw up.

So how long should I wait after taking my pill to drink alcohol?


Any information will help. Thanks.

Answer 1

Seriously, no reason to start drinking now, but I'm a drinker so I'm not judging. If you're worried about throwing up from drinking and losing the effect of your birth control pill, you are right. Give yourself 3 hours after. Read your leaflet that comes with them, that's where I think I read about being sick or having diarrhea will lessen your affects of the pill because you will lose some of the medication.

Answer 2

drinking alcohol and birth control at the same time will not have any effect on your body, unless you already experience nausea. since you are a first time drinker, eat good meals throughout the day, so you have food in your system when you do drink. and i would recommend drinking slow. Try and not mix alcohol, like beer and hard liquor, because i know with many people that makes them sick.

stay safe, for your first time make sure you are around people you trust and do not get to intoxicated
