It's actually strange that we think that hormone medications are a good idea when you sit back and think about what they do. I often see huge fallout when someone chooses to come off contraceptives and it can take alot of boosting to get the body to get back to normal.
For some things there are simply no excuses. Getting too pissed on a work night and subjecting your poor colleagues to inhaling second-hand ethanol fumes whilst complaining about the phones ringing probably won't go down too well with the boss.
