Date: 2013-04-19 03:14 pm (UTC)'The problem' is that there are some mothers-to-be who either don't know what 'in moderation' is (and oh! what a fluffy term that is anyway and it's different for each individual, et cetera, ad infinitum, ad nauseam) or whose idea of 'in moderation' is far, far removed from what scientists/doctors regard as 'in moderation'. So, it's easier for the government health machinery to lay out a blanket 'alcohol is bad m'kay' rule/guidance to _all_ mothers, creating an easy to understand and follow rule so that the few who really think 'alcopops don't count', etc don't have any excuse.
