Does alcohol consumption after taking birth control pills weaken their effect?
If I take Daylette birth control pills every day at the same time for 3 months, the pills are taken at 20 and moments later or during the consumption of alcohol (wine or beer), the pills still work at full effectiveness or are they weakened by alcohol?

Up to @Hhhhg:
Alcohol, regardless of the type and sequence of consumption, does not directly reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraception. However, excessive alcohol consumption can lead to vomiting (if it occurs within 3-4 hours after taking the pill, its effectiveness may be reduced) or to errors in taking the pills regularly.
It is also important to be careful when making decisions while intoxicated, which may indirectly affect the effectiveness of contraceptive protection.
Even if I drink wine first, then another wine, and then flavored beer, and then vodka? And I mix it all up, will it affect the effectiveness of contraception?

Alcohol does not affect the effectiveness of contraceptive pills. It is not necessary to keep a distance between taking the tablet and alcohol consumption. However, it is worth bearing in mind that the consumption of alcohol in large quantities can cause vomiting, which, if it occurs within 4 hours of taking the tablet, may reduce its effectiveness.
