Effectiveness
If I drink alcohol after taking emergency contraceptive pills, will they be less effective?
No, alcohol does not make emergency
contraceptive pills (also called "morning
after pills" or "day after pills") any less effective
at preventing pregnancy
after sex. But because alcohol can make it harder for anyone to
make good decisions about sex, drinking too much could put you in
a situation where you might
be more likely to need emergency contraception - like
having sex without using birth control or putting the condom on wrong.
