Alcohol affects your blood flow in a couple 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.
Hope that helped!!

Answer:
? do you mean alcohol? alcohol will slow contractions of the cervix which is what expells the blood during your period - if this is what you are talking about. drinking water should not slow things down, but you should try to stay hydrated which could help make your periods flow better and may shorten the time. hope this helps.
