[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]

Sure I could. As I said, I don't like most alcohols; I do like that one, and it was a special occasion. I could've chosen not to drink it, of course. I just didn't think it was that big a deal, considering how many women drink in early pregnancy without knowing they are pregnant (which I did not do, at all), and have healthy babies. If I saw research that said any drop of alcohol was dangerous, of course I would not have done it. The problem is the lack of knowledge. That is why people are seeking studies. And your own response proves my point -- you say you are not looking to "slam" people who have a sip or two, yet that is exactly what you have just done in my case. Half the drink was 4 small sips. Does that count as a sip or two given that I imbibed no alcohol at all for at least a month prior? I would think so, but clearly you subscribe to the all or nothing school -- which is fine, but is contrary to what you are saying.[/quote]
