The comments thus far prove my case. For example this line from Mr. Bagel “Its intellectually dishonest to claim that women who only drink moderately have little chance of their child having FAS; and thus this therefore means women can drink. The first part of the statement is true the second part is irresponsible.”
He admits that the statement is true (!) but because it he does not like my argument he calls it “intelectually dishonest” while what he actually means is “not in accordence with my morality,” which is actually the apposite of intelectual honoesty. Also, I’m fasinated by the link the government website that seems to offer nothing in the way of data. I challange you to find a reputable scientific source that links small amounts of drinking (up to 8 drinks a week) with any abnormalities in the child with any degree of conclusiveness. The ADD stuff seems like a huge reach considering the fact that women in the past drank more during preganancy (mostly likely since the drinking taboo in the states was not wide spread) but the rate of ADD related conditions is going up.
