Will drinking alcohol affect the birth of a boy?

Alcohol is now one of the most common drinks in social occasions, whether it is a class reunion, a casual restaurant, or a business occasion. There is a saying among the people that 'men who drink alcohol will be more likely to give birth to girls and less likely to give birth to boys'. This has no scientific basis. There is no direct connection between drinking and the gender of the fetus. Drinking only affects the quality of sperm. This article introduces some content about this aspect, let’s take a look.

Is it easier for a man to have a girl if he drinks?

When men drink, it can affect their sperm, leading to miscarriage, premature birth or deformity of the fetus, regardless of the gender of the fetus. Men should quit smoking and drinking before planning to have a baby. Generally speaking, the sexual organs of the fetus are fully developed around 4 months of pregnancy, and the sex of the fetus can be seen on ultrasound.

Whether the baby is a boy or a girl has nothing to do with drinking. Drinking frequently can affect the intellectual development of the fetus. The probability of having a boy or a girl is 50%, which has nothing to do with drinking. Whether the baby is a boy or a girl, according to scientific research, it is more determined by the father.

Because the female sex chromosomes are XX and the male's are XY, only when the male's sperm containing the Y chromosome combines with the female's egg can a boy be born.

Generally speaking, the gender of a baby boy or girl has little to do with the amount of alcohol a man drinks. The testicles of a baby boy secrete testosterone, which is the direct reason why pregnant women who are pregnant with a baby boy eat a lot. In other words, pregnant women who eat a lot have a greater chance of giving birth to a baby boy. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you have a boy or a girl now, just let nature take its course.

Sperm that contains chromosomes that determine whether a boy is conceived are more susceptible to the effects of cigarettes. If you want to have a boy, both parties should not smoke. In addition, working in masculine professions such as engineering or accounting will greatly increase the chances of pregnant women giving birth to boys. From the perspective of eugenics, it is the same to have a boy or a girl. The key is to have "eugenics" so as to get a smart and healthy child.

Which is more cost-effective to raise a son or daughter?

1. Food expenses. This expenditure does not seem to make much difference when raising children. What they should eat and drink are basically the same for boys and girls. There are no foods that only boys or only girls can eat. Some people may be serious and say that boys have bigger appetites than girls! Then some people may retort that girls are greedier and like to eat more snacks. Therefore, overall, there is not much difference in spending between boys and girls in this area.

2. Clothing expenses. Whether it is a boy or a girl, I believe there will not be much difference in the parents' financial expenses in this regard during the baby's period. But as children grow into childhood and adolescence, some people will say that the cost of raising a daughter is much higher than that of raising a son. All girls love beauty, and mothers always want to dress up their daughters beautifully, from the headwear to the little skirts, tights and pants, and finally to the little shoes on their feet. As for boys, they don't have as strong a preference in this regard as girls at this time, and their parents don't have much to dress up for them. Because boys don't need all the fancy headwear, various styles of skirts, various colors of tights and pants, and various styles of shoes that girls have. In this comparison, it is true that girls spend more on clothing than boys.

3. Medical expenses. For ordinary children who do not have any major diseases, they will inevitably encounter some minor pains and illnesses during their growth process, such as colds, fevers, coughs, etc. These minor pains and illnesses are equally likely to occur in boys and girls. For most ordinary boys and girls, there is no significant difference in spending in this area.

4. Education expenses. For parents of only one child, whether it is a boy or a girl, they will try their best to give their child the best education they can afford. From primary school to middle school, and from middle school to higher education, schools will not charge more or less for education because of gender! Of course, parents will also actively cultivate their children's hobbies. In the cultivation of artistic qualities such as painting, calligraphy, dancing, singing, piano, violin, etc., both boys and girls have equal opportunities to learn in front of their parents. In this way, parents' financial expenditure in this area will not vary depending on the gender of the child.

5. Marriage expenses. This is probably the biggest financial expense when the children grow up. For ordinary working-class parents, if they are raising a boy, I think most of them will save the so-called "wife fund" for their son - most of it is used to buy a house for their son to get married. Among parents raising girls, few save money for their daughters as "husband money" but rather as "dowry". But in most cases, these "dowries" are ultimately paid for by the sheep - the man. Because when getting married, the man’s family has to give a “gift money” to the woman’s family. With this kind of offset, it can be said that the marriage project is basically funded and labored by the man's family! This so-called "wife capital", "dowry" and "gift money" phenomenon is a derivative product derived from my country's traditional marriage ideas and is a reflection of my country's folk customs and human feelings.
