I watched a programme this morning about the dangers of drinking alcohol while pregnant (its on every morning this week on BBC1), it touched me so much I wanted to bring to other peoples attention.

I was aware that you shouldn't drink alcohol during pregnancy, but doctors are still saying that its OK to have 1-2 drinks a day but others are arguing 'whats a drink'? Does any one go to the bar and ask for 1 unit please.

This is the link if you want to read more.

The mother of the man in the report had about 1-2 bottles of wine a day.
