Could be, and YES: There is evidence that using alcohol does interfere with fertility:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC28642/ Also, depending on how much you drink, you could put your baby at risk of fetal malformations and even fetal alcohol syndrome. Many women do not realize for the first few weeks, that they ARE pregnant -- and a lot can happen with your baby during that time.
