YES it does... in a couple of different ways.

First, it inhibits the secretion of the ADH, or anti-diuretic hormone from the pituitary gland in the brain... that's why we pee so much when we drink. You are essentially getting dehydrated, so the blood thickens and your menstrual flow will slow down until you re-hydrate yourself.

Second, when you drink hard core, like lots of hard liquor or go on a bender for a few days, you can have extra periods or have skipped or late periods too. the reason for this is it messes up your metabolism and your hormones.

So if you drink while having your period, try to have a glass of water in between each drink to stay better hydrated.

Also, if you wear tampons, be careful not to leave them in too long. If you're dehydrated and they aren't leaking, and are left in too long, it can cause irritation , infection, or TSS.

yes cause alcohol thins ur blood

almost anything can affect the menses. Menstruation is caused by hormonal action, and hormones (and their production) can be affected by anything that changes your metabolic rate. Alcohol does this the best.
