I wonder if it's ok to drink alcohol once in a while while taking a oral contrac!


Question:
Answers:
Alcohol has no effect on The Pill and smoking cigarettes will not make you more prone to getting pregnant while on The Pill. However, if you smoke and you are on The Pill, you have a higher risk of developing a blood clot which can be fatal. If you had sex while you were drunk and you are on The Pill you won't get pregnant. But remember not everything is foolproof. The Pill protects against pregnancy 99.9% of the time and it doesn't protect you from diseases. If you for some reason think you might be pregnant, go to the doctor and get them to test you. Otherwise bottoms up!

Other Answers:
YES, it's safe! I've been on the pill for over 10 years, and drank every weekend and sometimes during the week too, and I never got pregnant! You are safe! The only thing they don't encourage you to do while on the pill is smoke cigarettes.
It's ok to drink alcohol with any birth control. Only smoking cigarettes will take down the effectiveness.
The only problems with drinking while on the pill is if you get too drunk and forget to take your pill or if you get really, really drunk to the point of puking right after you've taken the pill. Other than that, it's ok to drink while on the pill.
