My wife just found out we are pregnant for our 3rd child. As is typically the case she did some occasional drinking before we knew and was drunk 1 night. being through this before dooesnt overly alarm me but being over 35 creates some concern. my wife is 35 and will be 36 on the expected due date. Also, before we knew around 3 weeks she used some topical retinol cream...just once. any reason for concern???

There are varied opinions about alcohol in early PG before the mother knows, some think there could be some harm, others don't. What it boils down to (and this might also answer the retinol question) is that early PG, the first several weeks, it's an "All Or Nothing" deal, meaning if there's anything happening that will effect the embryo, nature will take it's course and end the PG spontaneously. If all is well, the PG will continue, despite a few infractions. Early PG is a hard time as you know. If she can get in at the 6 week mark and see a hearbeat on sonogram, you have a good chance of all being well. FWIW, I was about 2 weeks along when I went to a Who concert, drank a lot and was breathing a lot of questionable air, and my daughter is perfect, except that she likes her music loud. LOL!
