This article was about how if you consistently drink throughout a pregnancy it can seriously harm an unborn child, however a single incident of binge drinking while pregnant probably will not harm the developing fetus. I found this extremly ironic becuase of the fact that I thought all alchol consumption was horrible for a developing fetus. There is not enough evidence linking binge drinking, a behavior that is becoming increasingly common among pregnant women, to pregnancy complications. Warning: The study does not, however, give women permission to go on drinking binges, defined as five or more drinks, during their pregnancy.
