By asking the question you have answered it. If you are concerned enough
about pregnancy and a baby , why take chances? the data that we have on
alcohol in pregnancy is, of necessity, frequently a log or rememberances.
I can not tell you how much alcohol or in what circumstances it is " safe"
or not safe. However, if you are concerned don't do it. There are millions
of people in the US. tonight who will not be drinking alcohol to celebrate
- make up a new tradition for yourself.
