[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, that's not it, PP. It has more to do with what I hope is a small minority of women struggling to justify their drinking during pregnancy who then turn around and pontificate on the importance of breast feeding (ya know, since it's better for the baby), and intervention-free childbirth (ya know, since it's better for the baby). Or the organic vegan yoga mom who has a baby plan and a glass of wine each night. It's the irony that makes us wonder about these folks and their choices. That's all. [/quote]

I think, the issue of drinking during pregnancy aside, alcohol companies have successfully (far more than tobacco companies ever could) promoted this idea that drinking is an acceptable, even healthy, vice.

It amazes me how many people are opposed to processed foods, think sugar is evil, but think it's fine, even healthy/good, to drink wine every night.  There's a serious disconnect.[/quote]

I get the point that you're trying to make, but it's not just alcohol companies. Doctors say this too. Are you suggesting that those doctors are incorrect?[/quote]
