"The symptoms included diminished I.Q., small stature, flat face and drooping eyelids."


So that's what happened to me!

Wine Spectator had an article about drinking wine during pregnancy afew years back, and a study that they cited found that women who drank a glass of wine or two a week during pregnancy actually had easier pregnancies and fewer complications than women who abstained entirely.

Granted, this is correlation and not causation, but it leads one to believe that light alcohol consumption during pregnancy is not the horrible thing that we are being led to believe by the handwringing bedwetters of the world.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is a real and serious problem, but it's caused by multiple bottles of vodka, not by a glass of wine.
