It's unclear what you're asking ; if you drink a lot it could decrease your sexual desire. Also if you're a heavy drinker it could interfere with your menstruation -your period forvarious reasons.

Question 2

Make sure you start taking them a week or two BEFORE you start drinking...if you get my drift....

Question 4

Can you lose love handles when you stopped drinking alcohol after a period of time?

Accepted Answer

Acute alcohol administration results in changes in gonadal hormones that differed by sex. Vassal  et al 2012 showed that alcohol-induced suppression of testosterone occurred predominantly in men and increases in Estradiol occurred predominantly in women. It is known circulating levels of testosterone and Estradiol deeply affect adipocyte proliferation, differentiation, and fat mass distribution.

It shouldn't affect your period unless you drink too much and forget your birth control.

Question 6

Can i get nerve damage from drinking alcohol over a long period of time?

Accepted Answer

Lots of "it depends..." when trying to answer your questions. (how much? How long? Etc.)

but the short answer is, absolutely yes. Alcohol is a poison to your nervous system.

Question 7

My derm told me i would be at the same risk as a normal person from drinking alcohol 3 days after i finish accutane. is this correct? some doctors on forums suggest similar time periods whilst others suggest waiting far longer?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately it is a well known observation that many people have drunk alcohol while on Accutane through the years, but I recommend waiting for  2 weeks if heavy consumption of alcohol is planned as it may take that long for the medication to fully leave your body. Alcohol and Accutane can cause unpleasant side effects.

Question 8

Does drinking alcohol after taking the morning after pill alter its effectiveness? 
is skipping 2 periods on the pill ok?

Accepted Answer

Drinking alcohol before, or after the pill, or at time is a bad idea. Alcohol is a poison and it never did any body any good ever, so stay away from it. Morning after pill does alter hormone balance may cause to miss two periods. However, do a pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully.
If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

If that always happens to you as a subject of one when you drink, then you have your answer.

Question 10

How responsive is bilirubin to alcohol consumption?  will excessive drinking for one week impact test results during that period?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the amount of intake, alcohol may induce hepatitis and that would raise bilirubin.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
