Every bit of alcohol during pregnancy is risky.[/quote]

Then everyone would have had FAS before 1973. Did that happen?

No. So you are wrong.

Actually, yes.  Read the recent studies.[/quote]

What recent studies? There's one study that was based on pretty dodgy techiques of measuring facial features (unblinded) that sounds like phrenology and does not work with non-caucasian facial features.

There are zero studies showing that a drink or two before you know you are pregnant (or light drinking in pregnancy) cause any harm.[/b]

All there is is the precautionary principal that says "no level of alcohol use can be proven to be safe."  Which I suppose is true, but no level of driving has been proven to be safe from accidents, no level of vegetable consumption has been proven to be safe from food-borne illness, no level of leaving your house has been proven safe from meteor strikes, and on and on.

Yep. In fact, even in pregnant alcoholics, the rate of FAS is not that high.  And sometimes, one child is affected while the siblings are not. [/quote]

But maybe it is.  https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/nov/30/study-suggests-rate-of-foetal-alcohol-syndrome-disorder-higher-than-thought[/quote]
