[quote=Anonymous] I think the only way is to look directly at the studies and judge for yourself. The earliest studies were done on women who were alcoholics, who had >5 drinks per day. Based on that information, alcohol was deemed harmful and "no safe levels" were known. There was a study on women in Britain last year that reported that women who drank lightly (<= 1-2 drinks / day) during pregnancy had kids who did better on cognitive tests than those who did not drink at all. But the problem with all of these studies is that it's unethical to advise women to drink and obviously no way to do a controlled study. You might scan google scholar to look for a broader array of studies. The reality is that people are so emotional about these issues (and all issues surrounding pregnancy) that it is very hard, outside of direct academic studies, and even those can be dogmatic, to find objective information.[/quote]
