No: It has no direct effect on the egg waiting to be fertilized or the sperm eager to do the job. It also noes not reduce the germ transfer in sexually transmitted disease. If anything it removes your ability to deal with the consequence of risky behavior.

No: It might be harmful to a fetus if you drink alcohol - but it will not prevent pregnancy.
