Well, you can, but it's not a good idea. The mother and the unborn baby share blood, so pretty much anything the mother gets the baby picks up too. No one really knows where the "safe" limit is before the baby begins to suffer damage from the alcohol. Seems like an unfair and rather selfish risk to expose an unborn kid to, doesn't it?
