Can alcoholism in men cause birth defects in their children?

Yes, alcoholism in men can contribute to birth defects in their children, primarily through the impact of alcohol on sperm quality and genetic integrity. Alcohol consumption can lead to mutations, reduced sperm motility, and hormonal imbalances, which may affect fetal development if conception occurs. Additionally, paternal alcohol use can influence the overall health of the pregnancy and the environment in which the child develops. While the mother’s alcohol consumption is a more direct cause of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, paternal alcoholism can still play a significant role in the health of the offspring.
