TTC + alcohol question

Does alcohol affect sperm? (More so meaning quality than fertility). We are TTC and DH has had a big week of events and a lot of drinks. Not sure if we should sit this month out or keep trying. He's into his fitness/a healthy lifestyle so this is an unusual amount of alcohol for him hence us wondering!

Alcohol definitely has a negative impact on sperm in terms of their swimming but I don’t think it’s dangerous to TTC - I think the worst that will happen is the dozy drunken sperm won’t make it to the egg; I don’t think there will be anything wrong with them if they do.

Interesting.. Thank you so much for sharing

The amount of folk that get pregnant after a drunken night of fun would suggest it isn't a problem
