| Do you also feel is is wrong to drink alcohol while pregnant or nursing because the baby can not consent to getting a buzz or getting drunk? This is an activity that is not legal until the age of 21 and has been proven to cause health issues of all kinds in the human population. |

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome! Liver Cirrhosis! Child Abuser! Child Abuser! How dare you subject a poor innocent child to such health risks. You will regret your drunkard reactions one day. |

I don't drink alcohol during pregnancy or nursing. I also don't circumcise.
However, I wouldn't compare one with the other. An occasional glass of wine will not have any impact on your fetus and the research proves that. Cutting off part of his genitalia will permanently alter his body, reduce his sexual sensation when he's older and scar his penis. |

I think that drinking enough that there's a risk of a permanent change in your child's body (e.g. fetal alcohol syndrome) is wrong, yes. I think it's worse than circumcision because while the effects of circumcision may be controversial they aren't universally held as negative. As for drinking enough to cause temporary changes, I make temporary changes in my child's body all the time. I cut his nails, and brush his hair, and put on sunblock, and feed him healthy food and not so healthy food, and give him medicine. |

Ugh seriously. Can we just start a separate discussion group on this topic??? |

Everytime you drink, you scar your liver. So yes, its the same think. Also, alcohol also reduces sexual sensation. |

| This board is just going completely nuts. Another circ thread really? Generally good advice is on found on DCUM. But after all crazy anti-circ/circ talk, I am really starting to think this board is for entertainment purposes only. |

So a woman having a drink while pregnant is affecting her child's future sexual life? Oh gee |
