Is any kind of alcohol safe to drink during pregnancy?


No. Any kind of alcohol can harm your growing baby. There is a misconception that red wine is less harmful than other types of alcohol.  There is no evidence to support this.  Wine, beer, wine coolers, liquor, and mixed drinks are all unsafe during pregnancy. A 12-ounce beer, a 4-ounce glass of wine and a 1-ounce shot of liquor has the same amount of alcohol.  For more information, watch this video of medical experts on light drinking.
