Wanna know more about how alcohol can impact your period? Read on. - Alcohol can mess with your hormone balance which can result in irregular periods and flow changes. - Besides raising estrogen levels, alcohol can impact prostaglandins, the muscle influencers, which can cause more intense uterine contractions and, you guessed it, more painful cramps. Plus, it's a dehydrating culprit, adding muscle tightness to the mix. - As you know, alcohol is known for dehydration effects, making your body cling to fluids and leaving you feeling extra puffy. - Booze can disrupt your sleep hormones, especially the sleep-wake maestro, melatonin. So, if you're already battling period discomfort, think twice about that nightcap if you're craving some quality shut-eye. - Turns out, alcohol is a blood thinner, and it's got a thing for boosting estrogen levels which can stimulate the growth of endometrial tissue that needs to be shed. What's the result? Your uterine lining decides to throw a bigger, longer party during your period (AKA a heavier flow).
