A nice spokesman has confirmed that low to moderate levels of alcohol are safe for both men as well as women during pregnancy.
Women are therefore advised to drink moderately, and teetotal women to start drinking until November 2008 when alcohol will become dangerous again. However it's not all doom and gloom. The spokesman added that following changes in this week's pre budget statement, cannabis will be downgraded to harmless or nearly harmless as of April next year. Sales of peanuts are likely to remain buoyant until they officially become dangerous again in 2008, although unwashed prebagged salad will remain moderately popular again from late next year until the next General Election.

I think in this case it may just be better to be safe rather than sorry. Even if you feel that all the alcohol is gone, and the likelihood of that amount of alcohol hurting the baby is low, she may still feel uncomfortable eating it. I would say make your second favorite dish that hopefully has no alcohol in the cooking.

This has to do with the EU trade regulations. In 2008 it will be OK for French women to drink while pregnant, but not UK women. Excludes ROI.

Women used to drink stout, ale & gunniess during their pregnancies. It was recommended by the Doctor.

Lol, does that mean I have to start drinking again? And there I was convinced it was healthier for me to stop. Well it was back in 2004.
