Because the power of the Land-Man is stronger than puny fermented potatoes.
In diluted form, maybe. Filter the alcohol to 99% purity, shoot some pepper spray into it, top it off with a blast of liquid nitrogen, and it'll work just fine.

Well, should be easier with Kaworu. I mean, what with his body being PWM as well and everything. Just need to take care to have Rei be fertile.
...or hell. They're growing clones in vat tank. The step from that to artificial uteri / uterine replicators should be an incredibly small one. IVF plus artificial uteri. Solves all problems.

Now I'm wondering if Asuka would use uterine replicators. I mean, it's kinda the smart choice, and I can see her priding herself on her rationality and lack of emotional reasoning and so on. Also, she states she doesn't want children and is annoyed how much her menstruation hurts. Outsourcing pregnancy like that might hence appeal to her if she does decide to have children.
On the other hand, well... her maternal issues...

Drawn from RL: One of the things Asuka loves about the contraceptive implant she got so she and Shinji could have all the shenanigans they wanted and not need to worry?
No periods. None. So no painful monthly agonies, either.
The broader concept of kids is something she's shied away from at all, and mentally filed under 'not for years if ever'. And however she might not like the idea of carrying a child herself right now, she'd be even more hesitant about being her progeny being testbed for artificial means. (Though come to think of it, if it was ever Doctor Akagi describing it to her as the 'rational and lack of emotional reasoning' choice, she might reject it just because she hates Ritsuko!
) In either case, she's not even going to think about it for at least a few years.Meanwhile, Maya is getting ideas.

Right now the biggest obstacle to Asuka and Shinji having children, besides being children themselves, is the fear of ending up like their parents and mistreating the kids. I can see them with kids after long years of therapy and emotional support form their friends and each other. But only after that.
Rei and Kaworu? Errr... AT-Field bullshit?

Or they might decide not to have kids, for any number of reasons other than fear.
It's the 21st century. They don't need to quaint ideas from 1950's America foisted off on post-war Japan to define their happiness.

Admittedly future children is more of a thematic thing with this story with the comparisons between generations and mostly Shinji and Gendo at that in regards to parents.

I'm thinking Rei and Kaworu might have better luck doing the research themselves and taking advantage of their Angel abilities. There's an implication that Rei's biology as-is is a bit of a hack job between Human and Angel; a deeper understanding of both human and metaphysical biology might allow her and/or Kaworu to use Angelic mind-over-form abilities to reconcile the two.
Leading Rei and Kaworu to instead walk into Ritsuko's office and happily announce, "Guess who's expecting!" Goodbye vodka, helloooo tequila...
Especially if she realizes the answer could very well be 'both of them...'

Keeping in mind Adam's Children included things like a giant levitating blue crystal and a spider the size of a building covered in eyeballs that shot acid, that could be weird...
Rei: "Doctor Akagi, I'd like you to meet our son."
Ritsuko: "..............................................." ~DRINKS HARDER~
Rei: "And our daughter!"
Rei: "And the other kids!"
Ritsuko: "........I will never be drunk enough for this."
Rei: "Don't worry, Asuka and Shinji have offered to babysit!"
Asuka: "I figure after this, nothing any children I have get up to could ever be as weird."

... is that Rei cuddling a baby Godzill-
... it is.
Not all that surprising when you think about it. Is there really any other pop culture from Japan has gotten the same kind of world-wide renown as Godzilla and Evangelion?
Shinji: "... You know, most husbands would be pretty upset with you right now."Asuka: "I figure after this, nothing any children I have get up to could ever be as weird."
Asuka: "But little-M has your hair."
Shinji: "Yeah..."
Rei: "Guess who got his dad's eyes?"
Rei: "He~ey!"
Kaworu: "And your nose! Although, I have a suspicion what our next fourteen children will look like..."
Rei "Is there something wrong, darling?"
Kaworu: "Not at all, my love!"

Akagi:

How does this exist?
I seem to be in the same boat as Agaki, as my mind has only this further to say: Why am I still here? Just to suffer?

Because joking that anything Rei gives birth to will be a giant monster is funny.
Gee, no idea.
If so, it seems to be self-inflicted. And that's ok, nobody's gong to judge you for being a masochist.

Scientifically designed material specially made to ensnare male Eva Pilots?
Or collected, condensed and crystallized idiocy. Densest material ever theorized, yet too oblivious to even its own denseness that it doesn't collapse into a singularity as would normally be expected.
