Thanks, Adam and Gator.

Jota, the main reason for Birth Control failure is "user error." Most couples rely on either The Pill or a condom. Of course, of those who use condoms, most do not use them 100% of the time or don't use them properly. That's most likely to happen under the influence of alcohol, even just one or two drinks. As for the Pill, it might be forgotten one day now and then, and some women think that taking two the next day to make up for it is okay. The truth is that, in some women, skipping the Pill one day could trigger the ovulation process right away.

So, one form of birth control is not enough. The experts say not to drink unless you are using EFFECTIVE birth control, which means using two forms - one chemical (like the Pill or spermicide) and one barrier (like the diaphragm or condom). Depo shots seem to be effective, if they don't cause side effects.

End of Health Class 101. :-)

Well thanks, it's always been of interest to my how a "little" education could go a long way. What you describe reinforces that most of the "problem" is lack of it. Coming from a society where having kids is thought of a way to keep a man, compounded with a Catholic society where you should not use other methods than the one approved by the church ... it's clear where this "huge" problem comes from, but in this society I thought people will know better.
