I eat a lot of food and I'm afraid if it will affect the effectiveness of birth control pills? Will this make the liver digest longer and the pills will not work?
And if I drank a flavored beer with ingredients lime lemon and drank
2 such beers immediately after eating will affect the effectiveness of birth control pills?

A potential effect of vitamin C on hormonal contraception was observed when taking a dose above 1000 mg. The study concerned combined pills. The dose of 100 mg is safe, what's more - there is no need to take more due to the limited absorption of vitamin C plus possible gastrointestinal discomfort in the case of significantly exceeding the recommended doses.
