Nature or nurture? I daresay that if a woman drinks when she's pregnant, she'll drink when around her children who will learn from it as they grow up. Saying they "get a taste for it" in the womb is a trifle exploitive.

#1. Scullion, I agree and no info on the facts or figures, makes you wonder what they are 'really' trying to say.
Devious intentions behind this report?

Codswallop, Charles. While I agree, women shouldn't drink during pregnancy ... this is just another looney report!
