So before anyone judges I'm not talking about going out and getting hammered I am meaning the occassional glass of wine with dinner.

I'm currently pregnant (13 weeks) and just really in the mood for 1 with dinner tonight. I had with my last pregnancy (maybe 3 glasses on different nights throughout the whole time) however it was not until I was much further down the line.

Just wanted to see others opinions really, I know the NHS is strickly zero, however it wasn't that long ago that it was 1 or 2 units once a week.

Christmas I had mine in the 70s, you were advised to drink either Guinness or other kind of stout to build up your strength. A local brewery used to provide stout to the wards for mum's who had their babies, in those day mothers spent 10 days on the ward resting.

@TheWernethWife my Mum had us all at home, because she didn't want to spend ages in hospital! But yes, it was to build up your strength and vitamins. How times change.....
