Just in Time for the Holidays...

Alcohol consumption and pregnancy.

It seems to have all started with the sumptuous Rachel Weisz saying that she had a drink or two while she was knocked up and not being ashamed to admit it.

Now people are commenting in tenuous favor of giving knocked up women a bit of a break, both overseas in The Scotsman and here in the New York Times.

Perhaps pieces like this are reflecting some sort of new tolerance. I would dearly love to think so, but because I tend to be a glass-half-full type, all I can remember is that just yesterday the very same New York Times ran one of those dread scare articles about how what you do after you're pregnant really doesn't matter.

Rome's burning. We all just have to keep fiddling, really.
