A member asked:
How can alcohol affect sperm and how long to "cleanse"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alcohol intake: Particularly if in excess and over a long period of time will decrease sperm counts and fertility. So will use of tobacco, anabolic steroids, narcotics and some other medication. There is no way to tell if you've done damage and how long it would take to repair, if it can.
