[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not true, defensive PP. A sip here or there isnt a big deal....it's not necessary or healthy for the baby, but the PPs aren't ready to slam you for a sip or two. It's the folks who are busily trying to find research to justify regular drinking (ie: multiple drinks a week) who are raising eyebrows. It's just soooo not necessary. And for the PP to say I don't even like the taste of alcohol but drank half of my moms cocktail: Seriously? You couldn't exercise some self control? [/quote]

I just don't understand comments like this.  Alcohol is not necessary for anyone ever.  So what?  Neither is leaving the house in the morning and, hey, you could get hit by a car.  How dare you take that risk when you are carrying a child??  Well, because the risk is insignificant and it's nice to go for a walk.  Unlike heavy drinking, moderate drinking is not an established risk.  If it is not an established risk and it is something I enjoy, there is no reason why I cannot make the decision for myself whether or not I want to have an occasional drink.[/quote]
