My best friend is expecting her second child.
She is currently 22 weeks.
Since she found out she went to various events in the first trimester where she drank more than a couple of glasses of prosecco at each, accepted a new job so invited me round for a drink to celebrate etc. Definitely had two glasses then.
I don't know for sure but I'd estimate that she is having a couple of units a few times a week. She recently visited Italy and had wine with her meals each night.
As I have no idea what the amounts she is having are, I am not here to debate 'safe' levels etc. I am more worried about her attitude to alcohol and that she simply can't abstain.
More than once I have been round and said no thank you I'll have a tea as she is pg and I was dieting but she insisted on opening a bottle so that she could have a glass. Making out we always have something to 'celebrate'.
She has always drank a lot. They entertain at home all the time. Should I say something? Do something? I think she has a drinking problem.
