[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The last few posters prove my point about hysterical, emotional, and overwrought. Thanks to those who provided thoughtful and on-topic answers. There will always be a subset of the population who believes that anyone who ever has one drink has a problem -- I can't help those people. How do you know that I'm even pregnant at the moment? I was just asking for information, but this topic always brings out the extremists.[/quote]

But why do some of these posters HAVE to drink?  i mean clearly if you go 9 months and heck, treat yourself to a sip a few weeks before delivery or something like that sure -  no big deal. No need to worry and no need to do massive research on the topic. But if you are desperately searching to find out the bare minimum you can get away with on a  daily basis... that is something different!![/quote]

Many of us enjoy the flavor of alcohol and the ritual. I suppose you could ask the same question of the mom who really likes ham sandwiches and French cheese? But that would have the same moralistic frisson would it now?  That is the whole point of OP's question - how to separate out the moralizing from the useful data. Nobody here wants to get trashed while pregnant, but many of use would enjoy say half an ice-cold beer with dinner on a hot day, or [b]an ounce of nice red wine [/b]when somebody opens a good bottle.

Um, not sure OP is talking about just an ounce of wine here. [/quote]
