A member asked:
Can you tell me on a side note what are the rules with consuming alcohol, if i don't take the pill that day is it safe to drink that night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You mean BCP's: There is no specific reason not to consume "social" quantities of alcohol while on most oral contraceptives, but you should talk to the prescribing physician for information on whatever pill you are on. If you miss the pill, and then drink, you may be disinhibited and engage in unsafe sex with all its consequences. Safe drinking in women averages 1 drink/day, and never 4 or more at one time.
