Question by luvurplanet: Does drinking non-alcoholic beer everyday affect sperm when trying to conceive?
I have given up alcohol for 2 months trying to detox before we start trying to get pregnant, but I am having one non-alcoholic beer every evening. But I noticed that it said it contains “less than .5% alcohol”. Is this safe to keep drinking one? Can it damage my sperm (both quality and count)?

Best answer:

Answer by Rahdirahrah
