For those who think it's okay to have half a glass of wine here and there is harmless, I would suggest to talk to your doctor or read a college text book. But stay away from the Internet because a lot of the articles are opinions.

I took a picture out of my Psychology text book for people who are uncertain of the amount of alcohol consumption or who believe that nothing could happen to them. Yes every child and pregnancy is different, but would you want to risk a life long illness or possibly SIDS?

The Picture States:

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), which results from the mothers use of alcohol during pregnancy, is a leading cause of intellectual disability (formerly called mental retardation) (Floyd et al, 2005). It is also associated with facial deformities such as a flattened nose, an underdeveloped upper jaw, and widely spaced eyes. Although FAS is more likely to occur with heavy maternal drinking, there is actually no established safe limit for alcohol use in pregnancy. FAS may occur in babies whose mothers drink as little as 2 Oz of alcohol a day during the first trimester. We've also learned that even moderate drinking during pregnancy is linked to lower IQ scores in children (Lewis et al., 2012). Any drug used during pregnancy, whether legal or illegal (illicit, or any medication, whether prescribed or bought over the counter, is potentially harmful to the fetus.
