What about if you identify as a woman?

Seriously this is ludicrous and I say that as a teetotal woman of childbearing age who had finished her family.

I mean, it's bizarre isn't it? I haven't done a deep dive into the research, but I recall hearing that regular binge drinking is obviously bad for the unborn, FAS, but light consumption wasn't a problem.

Ah, I didn't know there was one already, I did have a quick look down the list on FWR but must have missed it.
