While pregnant consumption of alcohol can harm your baby
As, alcohol is harmful for you, but when you are pregnant, drinking alcohol not only harms you but even can badly affect the fetus.

Weight Gain
Alcohol is so high in calories that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out it can make you fat. They don't call it a 'beer belly' for nothing. If a fuller cheek, fatter waistline and chunky hips is what you fancy, have your daily glass of wine.
