[quote=Anonymous]By the way, a glass or two of wine occasionally has not been found to be harmful to a fetus.

http://news.discovery.com/human/alcohol-drinking-pregnant-women.html

"The study, which found no evidence of harm from having a couple drinks a week during pregnancy, was so well done and its findings so conclusive that it ought to become the final word in the field, said Fred Bookstein, an applied statistician who studies fetal alcohol spectrum disorders at both the University of Washington, Seattle, and the University of Vienna."

"A drink was defined as a small glass of wine, a half-pint of beer or a single serving of hard alcohol."

""I tell my daughters not to worry about a drink a day, but don't ever get drunk and be aware that after the second drink, you're not going to be able to count," Bookstein said. "There's just no evidence that a drink a day is causing any damage.""

Interestingly, it said that those moms who drank a glass or two per week actually had better outcomes, particularly with 3-year-old boy's language development.

Go figure.
