Q: Is It Safe to Drink During Pregnancy?
No. Drinking during pregnancy can have a number of harmful effects on the
newborn, ranging from mental retardation, organ abnormalities,
and hyperactivity to learning and behavioral problems. Moreover, many of these
disorders last into adulthood.
While we don't yet know exactly how much alcohol is required to cause these
problems, we do know that they are
100-percent preventable if a woman does not drink at all during pregnancy.
Therefore, for women who are pregnant
or are trying to become pregnant, the safest course is to abstain from alcohol.

Alcohol Syndrome and "Pamphlets and Brochures," Drinking
and Your Pregnancy.)
