What Causes Feeling Of Heavy Calves After Consuming Alcohol While On Junel?

Hi, I ve got a question about drinking and the feeling of heavy legs. Within 10-20 minutes of having an alcoholic beverage, my legs, more specifically my calves, feel very heavy. They feel almost like I have weights attached to them. I never have this feeling except only when I drink alcohol, and this occurs whether I am drinking hard alcohol, wine, or beer. The only medications I m on are the birth control Junel, and Doxycyline for acne. Thank you.
