Momma Don't Let Your Babies Be Winos

It's always something. That ominous government warning label on every bottle of wine, beer, or booze about pregnant women drinking. Since 1990, it's reinforced the commonly held male opinion that once the old egg was fertilized, "fun" was going to be a word no longer in your dictionary. I realize this is not a completely fair characterization of pregnant women, but for most of the men involved, it sure seems like it.

For most of us, it was excessive consumption of wine or whatever that led to someone getting pregnant in the first place. I'm pretty sure that's how it was for me, even though I can't recall the exact details anymore. But no more wine during pregnancy? Yikes.

Turns out that the "risk" referred to may not be much of a risk after all. Surprise, surprise. Another Chicken Little "the-sky-is-falling" warning from the guardians of the nanny state.

Now read Wine and Pregnancy and see why a little wine ain't so bad for momma and might actually help.
