Drinking is generally inevitable for holiday reunions, but if future parents-to-be are ready to "make people" in the near future, then they must pay attention: "wine" is something that cannot be touched!
Whether you drink liquor, beer, red wine or various foreign wines, there may be a slight difference in the degree, but the main component is alcohol (that is, ethanol), most of the alcohol will be metabolized in the liver, with the increase of alcohol consumption, the burden on the liver is getting heavier and heavier, the concentration of alcohol in the blood also increases, and the damage to the body also increases. When alcohol reaches a certain concentration in the body, it is harmful to the brain, heart, reproductive system, etc.
For the human reproductive system, alcohol can damage the germ cells (sperm, egg cells), the quality of sperm will decrease under the influence of alcohol, the egg cells are also easily damaged and it is difficult to recover quickly, and alcohol can also make the fertilized egg development imperfect. Drinking to conceive can delay fetal growth and increase the risk of physical defects. Therefore, drinking alcohol before conception is very harmful to the fetus. Women who drink alcohol all year round, even if they stop drinking alcohol a week before conception, still have some harm.
Couples who are ready to conceive a new baby must stay away from the drinking table and preferably stop drinking alcohol a week before conception. Of course, for the sake of the child's health, both husband and wife should start to abstain from alcohol at an earlier age (more than half a year).
