The only acceptable message is zero alcohol during pregnancy … and even if possible as soon as the desire to become pregnant, because many women only learn that they are pregnant during the 2nd.^st or from 3^st month. Why ? Because it is impossible to give a maximum acceptable threshold below which there is absolutely no risk in consuming alcohol. Indeed, this threshold varies from one woman to another: it can depend on the genetic heritage, weight, stage of pregnancy, etc. 

If we lack certainty for low consumption, average or high daily consumption is already better supported: thus, a daily consumption of 2 to 5 glasses of alcohol during pregnancy can lead to stunted growth of the child. be born, as well as brain damage. Beyond five drinks, the risk of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) with major behavioral disorders and intellectual retardation is very real. Alcohol is the first cause of non-genetic mental disorder in children! In addition, early exposure to alcohol in utero is a predictor of future alcohol addiction and therefore the risk for the unborn child of later encountering alcohol disorders.
