The effect of acute preimplantation intoxication with beer and cognac, on the background of chronic biparental consumption, was investigated in mice (controlled on day 4 of pregnancy), by using the following criteria: mean number of embryos/animal; oviductal-uterine migration of embryos; developmental rate; number of pathologically modified embryos. It resulted that both beverages used have a noxious effect upon preimplantation development, producing: retardation of oviductal-uterine migration and the increase of the number of pathologically modified embryos. Although the experimental model applied represents a maximal schedule of beverage administration (chronic biparental + acute), the effects were not enhanced as compared with previous results obtained by a less "forced" administration (chronic maternal + acute).
