Maybe the lab techs shouldn't be drinking so much before going to work?

Jokes aside, I'm glad this is getting visibility. It's not even about the science, everyone knows alcohol is bad for the sperm, but it's a good social-policy comment, to remind people who are having trouble conceiving that you really do want to try your best to do everything "right" to reduce the physical, emotional, and fiscal cost of the ordeal.

I'll also add that those of you who think alcohol will work as birth control...yeah, that's definitely going to be fine.
