It depends on how much you drink each time. If you are so concerned about this complication, do not drink.

Very likely if you had it before. It all has to do with your overall goals, being aware of your own limitations and keeping your best interest (health) in mind.

Do not drink. Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, damage testicular cells that make testosterone, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake. Quit while you are ahead.
