Some of the scenarios I was thinking about included people who started dating due to alcohol, and then later have an intended pregnancy.
But also, it does depend on whether we are looking at the local “do these people want to be pregnant” or the societal “what would a drop in birthrate do to society”.
In the “benefits” section probably goes an increased birth rate. I would guess that alcohol begins more lives than it ends.
Unintended pregnancies don’t sound like a benefit to me.
