From what I read drinking alcohol does affect sperm count and mobility. However, I've gotten pregnant twice while my hubby was under the influence.
Alcohol & Sperm
My husband and I have been TTC 4 years. His semen analysis is good except the morphology is borderline. 3 years ago morphology was 0% and now it's 3%. Lately he has been drinking alcohol more than I would prefer. Typically he'll have a drink once or twice a week, no big deal! But lately it's been everyday. Sometimes 1 drink, sometimes a couple. He's not getting drunk or anything. So my question is, should I be concerned as far as his sperm and TTC? Or should I just let this go. He gets mad when I say something about it being almost everyday lately. Thoughts?

Seeing how this is the over 30 club, I would not rely on advice from when ppl were younger. As we age, defects become more common in our genetic material (they've shown this to be true of even men! Just not at the rate of us poor females). I would make every effort to give your baby the best start possible which to me would mean drug and alcohol free. Would your hubby mind putting drinking on pause for your fertile window? That could be a compromise to instead asking for an all out abstinence. Addressing alcohol consumption is always a touchy subject. Sorry you have to deal with this. Good luck.
My OH drinks 8 cans of 4% lager a day. (No I don't like it but what can I do- he works and it hasn't got worse in 4 yeats - and yes he has days off and no issues so...) but i was concerned about his sperm as he has no kids - but his sperm analysis was totally normal. My kids dad drinks a lot of super strength lager and has 5 kids - he is deffo alcoholic. But no issues with his sperm. So I doubt 1-2 beers is an issue x
