Drinking in moderation can increase sperm count - new study

A new study on alcohol consumption and male fertility carried out in an Italian Fertlity Clinic and published by Andrology has found moderate alcohol intake is linked with higher semen volume, sperm concentration, and total sperm count.

In response to the research, Dr Bart Kuczera a consultant gynaecologist and leading fertility expert with Beacon CARE Fertility in Dublin said that while it appeared moderate drinking may be risk-free in terms of measuring sperm count he warned alcohol should not be used as a means to try to boost a low sperm count.
