hey nosoup, relax, take a deep breath, everything will work out. it always does.
i have never won the lottery, but i managed to knock up a chick who was on the pill (she said she was anyway). thing is, it happens.
as for your concerns about the drinking and such, do not worry at all. if, while she is pregnant, she is smoking and drinking and taking drugs, then yes, worry. but my wife (the chick i knocked up, now ex) got drunk once during her pregnancy, kid turned out fine. my grandmother (old italian lady) said during pregnancy, a glass of wine here and there isn't going to hurt anyone. on the night of conception, whatever legal substances you were abusing, it doesn't matter, so don't worry.
my life was completely derailed by it, now i have a daughter that i'm damn proud of, who makes me smile and laugh and makes me happy. i never wanted a kid, but i got one, and that is that. you cant think "damn, what if it didn't happen?" if you are gonna be a daddy, think of the the good parts about it, enjoy it, and that is that. not much you can do to change it, might as well enjoy the ride as much as possible.
if she is indeed pregnant...hang in there. the next 19 years are gonna be difficult, but manageable, usually happy, sometimes not, and again, dude, it will all work out. it always does. (i would say "congratulations" but it sounds like that is not the right word for it right now, so i won't).
it could be worse. it could always be worse. good luck with whatever happens.
