He manages a bar/leisure outlet and he saw a man and his heavily pregnant wife go to order drinks. The man ordered a pint of lager and a single Jack Daniels chaser. DH didnt think much of it until the man asked the woman what she wanted and she said something DH didnt hear and the man said "And another JD, make it a double with a bit of coke"
He was a bit 
about it but knows the rules on drinking in PG and figured that one isnt ideal but not the end of the world. By the time he came home they were on their second round. I am 36 weeks pg btw.
He is digsusted and after being told by me that he would be called Judgey pants on here he wants your opinions on whether he is justified in pulling them up so high he gets a wedgie or whether he should mind his own business!
Personally I think he is NBU but then I would wouldnt I? :o

They're not rules on drinking during pregnancy, but guidelines.
The thing with advice being given is that it's up to the person whether they take it or not.
Your DH was BU to think it was his business, when they make it illegal to drink during pregnancy, that's the time to put on his Judgey pants (may they chafe his arse crack enough for him to have to use vaseline 
)

Well, not ideal but disgusted is a bit strong. Could have been her first drink for weeks - I wouldnt like to judge really, I always liked a glass of wine or 2, especially towards the end of pregnancy. Tell him to stick his judgey pants in the wash bin and chill out.

I think it depends if this is a regular occurence which your DH has no way of knowing. Also, 3 units of alcohol isn't binge drinking which is the most damaging to a foetus - and if heavily pregnant it's a baby not a foetus so not as vulnerable.
Probably best to put the judgey-pants on the trouser press?

I was thinking the other day about some lad serving at starbucks questioning whether the customer should be drinking coffee because she was pregnant.
The problem I have though is that I can't remember whether it was something I read on here or it happened to me, such was my pregnancy brain at the time

If the amount of alcohol acceptable to individual women to drink while they're pregnant is a debatable point, I think there's no doubt at all that a consensus point could be agreed on MN that 'falling over pissed' would never under any circumstances ever be alright.
