Might sound daft but how does drinking affect my and oh's fertility?

    not sure how it affects fertility but i know it does. i do know that if a man drinks too much his swimmers can get p*ssed (swimming in circles etc).

    my dh usually goes out for a few drinks with work people on a friday after work (he only has anout 4 pints- so not big nights out) but he as decided that he will only go out once a fortnight maximum - bless.

    i dont drink much as a rule (cant drink as i used to - get really sick). i drinking at the moment as its xmas and new year as only on cd8. mind you went out last night for boxing night and only had about 4/5 drinks, felt really crap, woke uo with a bit of a cough, then as the night went on had splitting headache and felt sick and crap. had chills and shivers inthe night. woke up feeling really crap and now snotty (sorry tmi). so may not being drink for new year just cos i feel so crap.

    sorry for the ramble and the tmi
