Can your period affect how drunk you get?

I went out for dinner with some family last Saturday and we were all drinking wine with our food. I can't have had much more than everyone else, plus I'm one of those annoyingly slow drinkers, but I was smashed!! I even threw up when I got home! But the only thing that I can put it down to is being right in the middle of my period. Would it even make a difference or was I just drinking a lot faster than I thought?
