To echo what a lot of ladies have said, I went on a summer vacation the first week of the cycle in which I conceived and I drank a LOT (defo wasn't pregnant yet as AF was just finishing when the week of vacay started and I went without my husband). Slowed down a little but still drank a fair bit the rest of the cycle until one day (around 3 weeks in) I had a glass of wine and felt sick - tested the next morning and it was positive, 4 days befroe the next AF was due. I was 36 at the time (now 37) and this was our 2nd month TTC.
I know this is anecdotal but I don't think alcohol hurts fertility at all. You might be TTC for a long time and even if you get lucky and conceive right away you are still in for a long period of abstinence after you get your BFP so might as well live it up now. Just test early, go easy in the last two weeks of the cycle, and listen to any signals your body may be giving you. Good luck!
