How does the vaginal ring work?

It works by stopping your ovaries from releasing an egg each month. It also thickens the fluid around the cervix (opening to the uterus or womb). This helps to prevent the sperm from entering. When you start using a vaginal ring for the first time, or after a break, it can take up to 7 days to start working.

Drinking alcohol doesn’t change that. Alcohol won’t affect IUDs, implants, the ring, or the patch either. Usually, it won’t change the effectiveness of the pill. The only time you would need to worry is if you drank so much alcohol that you vomited within two hours of taking your pill.
