All I'm going to say is, What are you thinking? If you want to drink and have fun and party, you shouldn't be having a baby. Here is a website from the March of Dimes, read it PLEASE!! And don't drink. It's not just you that you can mess up now.

beer/alcohol affects the brain. a study that looked at a drinkers brain showed lots of the brain had deteriorated from drinking. it also affects the liver in a negative way. when a woman is pregnant, anything she consumes so does the baby. the babies brain is still developing and alcohol could mess up or slow down the process. bottom line is that drinking while pregnant is a very bad idea.

Abnormal facial features. A child may have a small head, flat face, and narrow eye openings. A single trait may be hard to pick out, but generally, a child's head and face just don't look right. This becomes more noticeable by age 2 or 3 years.
Growth problems. Often, children who are affected by alcohol exposure during fetal growth are noticeably smaller than other children of the same age.
Learning and behavior problems.
Birth defects. Structural problems that involve the eyes, ears, heart, urinary tract, or bones can occur.
Heavy alcohol use during pregnancy can also lead to miscarriage, premature delivery, or stillbirth.
Medical experts agree that heavy drinking (5 or more drinks on at least one occasion) during pregnancy can severely affect a developing fetus

Well if a woman is pregnant and they drink, the beer goes into the "fetus" and so the baby, when older, about when kids start to drink and have sex ect., they are more out to drink than if the mother din't drink during pregnacy. And beer can give more stomach sickness in the morning(I have seen mothers drink) and have worse hangovers.

alcohol causes fetal alcohol syndrome in babies. This usually is malformations or irregularities in the face and it also causes learning problems later on.
BUT, if you drank before you found out you were pregnant, don't worry too much. usually, the baby is too young to be affected before you find out. Just stop drinking now and you should be fine.
One midwife told me even that it is safe to drink one beer a week! but no more than that.

Are you crazy!? Why would you even want to risk your baby's life just to have a beer?

never, ever, ever drink or do drugs while you are pregnant. there is no excuse and do you think that baby deserves what the effects could be??? mental retardation, deformity, life-long health problems??? the kid didn't even ask to be born, you and the father chose to give it life, accidentally or not.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Comes to mind.
EVERYTHING you EAT/DRINK goes directly to the baby!!!
Enough said?

well, they're NOT GOOD. have you ever heard of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? It can take one drink, or it can take a whole keg, and there's no way to tell how much it would take to affect your baby, so just LAY OFF!
