My wife and i just started trying to get pregnant. she is only a few days out from her last period. can she have one gin drink even after we had sex?

One is ok: Most women ovulate about 14 days after the start of the last period. So until she is pregnant a drink will not affect the future pregnancy. After 14 days though, no drinking until the next period starts.
