AnswerGeneral wisdom says that women should not drink alcohol or use drugs during pregnancy. Always check with your physician before taking any medication during pregnancy. AnswerNO! http://www.womenshealthcaretopics.com/pregnancy_and_alcohol.htmhttp://www.drspock.com/faq/0,1511,8263,00.htmlIt Causes FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME! LOOK IT UP! It is VERY HORRIBLE!Especially when the fetus is developing in the early weeks and months of its life, your baby is developing things like its brain, spinal cord, and heart (circulatory system). That's some very important stuff to be making, so even a small amount of alcohol consumption WILL be devastating to your future baby, and you, when it comes out malformed AND/OR mentally retarded for LIFE! There is no cure for these kinds of deformities, and your child (and you, your life, and FAMILY) will suffer the consequences because you drank or smoked early on in pregnancy and throughout your pregnancy. Why even risk it, its NOT worth it!

What is foetal alcohol syndrome?
Fetal Alcohol syndrome (FAS) is caused by a woman drinking too much alcohol during pregnancy. The pregnant woman typically is also malnourished, receives no pre-natal medical care, drinks tobacco and does drugs. The amount of alcohol necessary to cause FAS is controversial but several important points are worth noting: • Because it's impossible to "prove a negative," opponents of drinking alcohol in general can always and forever say that "no safe limit on consumption has been proven" • There appears to be no evidence that drinking in moderation (no more than one drink of beer, wine or distilled spirits) by pregnant women has ever caused Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) or otherwise harmed a single baby. The burden of proof lies on those who contend that such drinking is harmful and they have not been able to do so. • Women who choose to drink in moderation while pregnant can do so with knowledge that their decision is consistent with scientific evidence. • There is always the possibility that some as yet unidentified harm to a baby might result from light or moderate drinking during pregnancy. • Given the above possibility, even if remote, the very safest choice for an expectant mother's fetus would be to abstain. • Women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant should discuss the matter with their own physician or health care provider.
