Okay, logical thinkers, here's an exercise. What's wrong with this paragraph?
(reference)
It used to be believed that drinking moderate amounts (a drink a day) was relatively safe. But it's only recently been discovered that children of women who drank during pregnancy — even those who had as little as one drink a day — were experiencing developmental problems throughout their childhood and even into adolescence. A 2002 study by the University of Pittsburgh found that children of mothers who drank at least one drink a day during their first trimester weighed, on average, 16 pounds less at the age of 14 than those with no exposure to alcohol in the womb.
*headdesk* Stupidity, or willful misunderstanding? I'm cynically betting on the second. There is such a need to control/threaten/fondle pregnant women that people's brains seem to fly straight out the window.
But anyway. I will have an occasional drink when I'm pregnant, but not the occasional four, so HI. HI.
