What’s worse for pregnant women?

Question

My friend and I were just talking about this and I was wondering other people’s thoughts. She is saying alcohol because of the obvious. I’m saying over the recommended amount of caffeine because it can cause a miscarriage.
Obviously neither but just for some conversation.

Answer

Difference being there’s an amount of caffeine allowed each day and there’s a recommended zero alcohol should show which is worse

Answer

I drank a large iced coffee every single day with my daughter and she's perfectly healthy. 
I don't think people who drank alcohol every single day can say the same about their children

Answer

Have you heard of fetal alcohol syndrome?? Which would you feel more comfortable consuming?? I personally drank an unsweet tea daily during both my pregnancies but would have never dreamed of drinking alcohol. I dont see warning labels for caffeine found on coffee, tea or a soda (with the exception of energy drinks..can't say the same for alcohol

Answer

Wtf. I’m sorry but this post is honestly dumb. You’re allowed 200mg of caffeine daily in pregnancy, you’re allowed NO alcohol because recent studies have said there’s no proven amount of alcohol that causes things to happen. With all three of my pregnancies I drank caffeine and never did it affect anything. I was such a heavy coffee drinker before getting pregnant that my ob would tell me its actually better for me to still drink it (just not as much) rather than cut it out completely. Never in a million years would I have alcohol while pregnant...

Answer

obviously no caffeine?? caffeine in moderation is perfectly fine. Must be a miracle that my baby is alive right now then because I've been drinking tea/coffee my entire pregnancy. Please do more research.

Answer

I mean... both can be dangerous. Caffeine has been more rigorously studied so we can say with confidence that keeping it under 200mg per day has no negative effect on your baby. We can’t say that about alcohol with any major certainty. 
Both can cause miscarriages early on if you waaaayyy binge on either. Both can cause birth defects if binged on later in pregnancy. It’s not as simple as one being worse than the other.

Answer

Neither I don’t really drink alcohol and I never drink anything with caffeine because I don’t like the way if makes me feel.
