Alcohol/sperm: Alcohol can reduce quality and quantity of sperm produced due to it's effects on zinc absorption- namely it can reduce absorption. However, recent research seems to indicate that alcohol won't aggravate prostate function. As a reminder prostatic secretions are a component of semen along with sperm.
