I am a family law lawyer specializing in child protection. Close to 20 yrs ago now one of BC’s top experts on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome told me that there is no known safe level of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. That was enough for me – I still don’t understand why a pregnant woman would take the risk. Whose needs are being met by your drinking while pregnant??

I am delighted that someone is finally speaking out about the idiocy of the dry pregnancy movement. I was pregnant in the early 1980′s at the beginning of the don’t drink while pregnant movement when it was just a “suggestion” and not the iron clad rule it has become today. Having lived in Europe and known many successful mothers a little older than I who led their normal lives while pregnant, I ignored it. I have two perfectly normal children, one of whom is a wine importer. The author is correct in that this is just another way to control women in our society, and also a crusade of the neo Prohibitionists. I don’t understand the sheeplike nature of American women who can’t even apply common sense to the issue.
