Does anyone really know what the effects of alcohol are when TTC? I haven't had a drink for almost 2 years (maybe a couple of glasses of wine) But my DH refuses to give it up. I am constantly nagging him to ease up on the drinking. He will drink at least 3-4 beers a night for 5 out of 7 days of the week. He doesn't often go out and have a massive binge, but he constantly has beer in his system. I have explained how important it is to be as healthy as possible when TTC (especially since we are having a hard time), but he still keeps drinking! He also smokes (rolling tobacco) though not that much.

I am afraid that his drinking is compromising our fertility and I know drinking should be stopped while TTC, but how much does it really affect fertiity?
