Just don't drink anything heavy; vodka, tequila, or other liquor. Red wine is good for your health anyway, just stick to one glass and don't have it EVERY day.
Moderation is your friend, people.
(Keep in mind, I'm not promoting drinking while pregnant. I'm just saying it's NOT as big of a deal as long as some idiot doesn't frizock it up by binge-drinking to this news.)

According to five new Danish studies, drinking occasionally while pregnant may not be such a big deal after all.
Researchers took a look at more than 1,600 Danish women and their children, and compared kids born to nondrinkers to those who had mothers who could be categorized as light drinkers (1-4 a week), moderate drinkers (5-8 a week), or heavy drinkers (9+ a week). (Keep in mind that an alcoholic drink in Denmark is defined as 0.4 ounces of pure alcohol compared to 0.6 in the U.S.)
The scientists controlled for outside factors, such as smoking and the mother’s intelligence, and found that light or moderate drinking while pregnant did not have any noticeable impact on a child’s overall IQ, attention span, or self-control. However, the children of heavy drinkers did have considerably shorter attention spans compared to their counterparts.
Despite the growing evidence that light to moderate drinking during pregnancy is harmless, many doctors still strongly discourage the practice.
Dr. Jacquelyn Betrand, representative for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and co-author of three of the studies, told HealthPop: "This study doesn't change our recommendation. We have a long history that alcohol causes birth defects. Drinking during pregnancy is just not worth the risk."
What do you think SodaHeads? Is drinking while pregnant OK in moderation or not worth the risk?

Corruption at the FDA Over Dental Amalgam
Issue: Amalgam Dental Fillings = Mercury Poisoning.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) website recently removed a warning that it previously reluctantly posted about the toxicity of amalgam dental fillings. Why? FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg holds stock in the company (Henry Schein) that makes mercury fillings and she thinks it’s okay that Americans continue to be poisoned by this proved neurotoxin. The silver fillings placed in people’s mouths are comprised of 50% mercury.

Of course then again, we all know idiots are everywhere. No matter what, SOMEONE will make a complete FOOL of themselves, and this kind of thing is a prime example.
Unless you're trying to have a miscarriage, don't binge, and keep it to 3 drinks a week at tops; and not in consecutive days, nor with heavy alcoholic beverages.
It's so disappointing to see young women who are barely more than CHILDREN THEMSELVES get knocked up because they got drunk at a party or something. Shame, shame, shame.
Also, the study on here even says "in MODERATION, causes ZERO birth defects".... perhaps you should read MORE before jumping to conclusions, as well as spelling as if you're writing a text message.
And please my friend, riddle to me where u read that moderation is harmless..... because when my mom was pregnant and drank only ONE corona, my lil bro came out with an infection.
I seriously doubt it did. If you want proof, there is a study in the question, that is, IF YOU READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE.
