Drinking and Pregnancy

Is it safe to drink during pregnancy?

No, drinking during pregnancy is dangerous. Alcohol can have a number of
harmful effects on the baby. The baby can be born mentally retarded or with
learning and behavioral problems that last a lifetime. We don't know exactly how
much alcohol is required to cause these problems.

We do know, however, that these alcohol-related birth defects are 100-percent
preventable, simply by not drinking alcohol during pregnancy. The safest course
for women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant is not to drink
alcohol at all.
