“Well, then you should definitely be aware of the data showing that even just one bout, one bout of so-called binge drinking, which is five to six drinks in a given night or half day, in a 12-hour period-- one bout of five to six drinks, if you're a woman or you're a man, greatly increases both the likelihood of mutations in the embryo that would result from a fertilization and at the same time, for reasons that should be obvious to you based on all the biology we've talked about, a greatly reduced probability of fertilization.”
