I know about fetal alcohol syndrome. But can alcohol use effect a woman's eggs before conception?I have read about fetal alcohol syndrome effecting the baby before it is born. But I'm curious if alcohol use by a woman even if she is not pregnant could effect all her eggs. I know that women are born with all the eggs they will ever have. It causes me to wonder if whatever a woman is exposed to in her child bearing life time( pesticides, pharmaceuticals etc etc) will also have an effect on those eggs. I don't know if it would even be possible to study this.

Yes, alcohol can damage your eggs as well as alcohol can damage the mans sperm.

It most certainly can affect both woman and men even BEFORE they decide to have children.

In theory...yes. However, moderate alcohol consumption before pregnancy, in the absence of other health problems, has no known risks associated with it. Women attempting to conceive should avoid alcohol and other substances known to be harmful to a developing fetus before she becomes pregnant, because of the risk of exposure before discovering her pregnancy.
