Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

No evidence: There are no data (hence no evidence) to say what the direct affect of alcohol on endometrium is; however, the direct effect is likely extremely small. On the other hand, ivf is very important, and common sense would tell you to keep alcohol use limited.
