Default Re: effect vs affect ?

In my opinion , the second sentence would be:

A few drinks will effect recovery " for him" ( means a few drinks will make recovery happen ).
So, the pharse will be wrong because drinks will make the situation worsen .
As I understand, the meaning of 'effect' as verb is to make something happen, and I think it's not appropriate to use it in this case after all.
