I've heard that if you consume alcohol while you're on the pill it eliminates the effects of the pill. So if i consume alchol is the pill still affective or could i still get pregnant?

Dear Reader,
Studies have shown that alcohol does not decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills.

Conversely, studies have shown that taking the birth control pill affects the way women's bodies process alcohol, leading to higher blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) and intensifying the effects of intoxication.

While alcohol has no direct effect on the birth control pill's ability to prevent pregnancy, drinking it can indirectly decrease the pill's effectiveness if it interferes with a woman's ability to take the pill at approximately the same time each day or if it causes her to throw-up shortly after taking the pill. In general, alcohol can impair one's ability to act prudently, be that responsibly taking daily medication such as the birth control pill, using a condom to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or choosing with whom and in what ways to become intimate.

People normally say the pill doesnt work with alcohol because sometimes you may drink to much and throw up! it definatly work wont if you sick it up! but booze doesnt make it less effective no.

any drug with alcohol may be dangerous, and with both effects i say you would catch a very nauseatic-vomiting state, try not to :S
