One Drink Will Kill the Baby	comment	We all know about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder aka Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, the irreversible brain damage and physical deformities that result from prenatal exposure to alcohol. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy also tends to increase the number of miscarriages and decrease the birth weight of the baby (generally a bad thing for the baby). No amount of alcohol is known to be safe for a developing baby and this will likely forever remain a mystery, as scientists can't exactly ask hundreds of expecting mothers to drink different amounts of booze and see how morbid the baby gets. The only thing certain is that none is less than whatever the safe amount is, if a safe amount exists at all. This leads many women to play it safe and swear off the liquor entirely as soon as they miss their period, or even when they decide to actively start trying for a baby. Fair enough, but many TV shows take this to ridiculous lengths. Comedy series especially hang entire scenes on the pregnant woman desperately avoiding taking even a single sip of the wine offered, as if even a single drop of alcohol will irreparably harm the helpless little fetus. Conversely, the second a person serving drinks learns that the woman getting one is pregnant will be the one where you see the server stopping the pouring faster than you can imagine. Somehow it's always in a situation where not drinking alcohol would be suspicious or unacceptable. The woman is convinced that ordering a Pepsi at the bar (when she hadn't been averse to alcohol before) will cause everyone to shout, "AHA! You're pregnant!" when it's supposed to be a secret â€” and sometimes that is exactly how the pregnancy becomes known. This requires huge leaps of logic from the other people, instead of assuming the woman simply doesn't want to drink or is the Designated Driver for the evening. Even more ridiculous situations tend to arise when a character is Mistaken for Pregnant and the other characters desperately try to stop her from drinking without revealing that they "know". Compare Childhood Brain Damage, which usually occurs only once the kid is actually born. An example of Truth in Television. A survey of U.S. bar workers confirms that most would refuse point blank to serve an alcoholic drink to a visibly pregnant woman.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_11c6567a	comment	In the Thursday Next book, The Well of Lost Plots, Thursday is pregnant — but a mental attack from an old nemesis is making her forget that fact. In the midst of wondering just why her pants are all so tight these days, she damn near guzzles a bottle of wine. When she realizes what happened later, she's worried until her grandmother points out that she threw up immediately afterward anyway.

Benson initially sides with her, but as the story develops it becomes clear the woman really is an alcoholic and earlier had a daughter, given up for adoption, who is diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_1e703d1f	comment	Sookie on Gilmore Girls sent her husband Jackson off to have a vasectomy right after the birth of their second child (they'd both decided they only wanted two, and she didn't want to take chances). A while later, they came home early from a date because Jackson had ruined it by not letting her ski and spilling her wine at dinner. He confessed to Lorelei that he hadn't had the vasectomy and feared she might be pregnant again.

The ladies return to their table, pour a glass of wine, raise it... and put it down right before it touches their lips, just in case. Subverted a second later. Susan, the one who turns out to be pregnant, takes a drink and says it can't be her because she's been trying to conceive a child for a while, and her doctor had told her she'd 'need a miracle'.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_20eec977	comment	Story of Seasons: Amusingly averted, where one of the women (Karen pictured above) whom the player can marry will mistake morning sickness for a bad hangover. Not only that but in Harvest Moon 64, one of the requirements for marrying her is beating her in a drinking contest, requiring you to build up your tolerance with repeated alcohol purchases. In many of the Distaff Counterpart games (and later just the games period once being able to choose your gender was implemented), your player character herself can drink as much alcohol as you wish while pregnant, without any harm whatsoever. There is at least one game where your husband will insist that, in your case, there's no way that a little alcohol is any danger to you or the baby. This is because, by that point, you are heavily pregnant and have still managed to keep the farm running practically single-handed, all without the slightest hint of ill-health.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_21b21f35	comment	BoJack Horseman: In the episode "The Judge", a recently pregnant Princess Carolyn visits her boyfriend Ralph's parents but isn't ready to tell them that she's pregnant yet. They offer her some alcohol to calm down, but she declines. They keep insisting she indulge in something else, such as cocaine, smoking, standing around secondhand smoke, some highly caffeinated coffee, a quick punch in the stomach to make her feel alive, or a ride on their extremely fast rollercoaster. Eventually, Ralph has to step in and change the subject. In the next episode "Ruthie", Princess Carolyn is hesitant to drink coffee, but Ralph allows her to have a little sip. She later miscarries, but it's unclear if this is connected to the coffee, especially since it had been pointed out earlier in the season that it's hard to have children at her age and the reveal she's had four miscarriages beforehand.

Also used for Black Comedy, when Brandine in one episode sips whiskey to stop the fetus from kicking. In another episode, in which Marge and Homer return to the mini-golf course where Bart was conceived, Marge notes how they drank so much on that night, and Homer comments "Yeah, I thought Bart would be born a dimwit." Marge merely gives a nervous chuckle.

The alternate Olivia Dunham greets her partner on his return home with a glass of wine for him and a similar glass of water for herself. That would be a dead giveaway in most other shows, but we've already seen that she doesn't like alcohol. The episode later reveals that she is pregnant, making the water a kind of anti-red herring.

Beth finds out she's pregnant and, still grieving over the loss of her son, isn't sure she wants to keep the baby. She drinks a fair bit, possibly indicative of her developing a drinking problem to cope with her grief. She is shown drinking less once she officially decides to keep the baby, but that could just be the result of lack of time to show such things in the later episodes.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_46f9ffcf	comment	In Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley novel Just One Evil Act, Angelina Upman is on Italian TV with her former and current boyfriends pleading for information on her missing daughter, and initially does not partake when her current boyfriend offers wine to the police and media there. Then her former boyfriend (who is a Muslim and doesn't drink anyway) asks if she wants some, but as she reaches for it her current boyfriend yells that she shouldn't "during this time especially" and everyone nearby instantly figures out that this means she's pregnant. In an earlier scene when Lynley met with her he observed that she had water while the rest of them had wine, but didn't think much of it until her boyfriend's outburst. In the end, this trope ends up double subverted since technically that one drink did kill the baby — and the mother, since it turned out it had been laced with E. Coli by the current boyfriend, who didn't realize that the former boyfriend didn't drink and intended it for him to get him out of the way.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_47c78ce2	comment	A Farewell to Arms had Catherine argue for drinking when she's pregnant, on the grounds that she's petite and alcohol will make the baby smaller, easing the birth. Since this was written in 1929 (and set in World War I) Values Dissonance/Science Marches On is no doubt in effect. (Though both Catherine and the baby suffer Death by Childbirth, so maybe Hemingway was ahead of his time?)

Fortunately, he shows an uncharacteristic amount of sympathy and runs a D&D game where she can do all the things she's not supposed to do. During Bernadette's second pregnancy, she meets a new coworker at the winery. While the coworker is saying they could have gone to another place, Bernadette is having fun because she is drinking cranberry juice in a wine glass while visibly pregnant. It's a great trolling moment on people watching her. In the series finale upon learning she's pregnant, Penny abstains from any drinking, though everyone is focused on Sheldon and Amy winning a Nobel to realize the significance of her actions.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_5a3dae52	comment	The Misfits finale has Jess drinking orange juice in the final scene while the other four drink lager, due to the fact that she believes she may have just conceived the baby she saw herself with in the future. It's an unusual mash-up of realistic and unrealistic aspects of this trope - since she's hoping to become pregnant in the near future, if she isn't already, giving up drinking would be medically advised; however, she believes herself to be a few hours pregnant at most, a stage so early that most pregnant women (including Jess, had she not seen the future) wouldn't even know about it, and would probably still be drinking as normal. Earlier on, Marnie in the Series 2 Christmas special develops an elaborate prediction of how her relationship with Nathan would develop if they were to go for a drink at the bar right there and then, but ends (mock-sadly) by pointing to her baby bump and pointing out that she can't drink. Since it turns out she's only a couple of days away from giving birth, she would have to drink an epic amount to do any real harm to the baby.

The baby seemed to be fine, and this is actually Truth in Television since exposure to alcohol is mostly a long-term developmental issue. In fact, before some modern drugs were invented, alcohol was used as a way to stop premature labor. If it didn't work then the kid would be born drunk (and still premature) but otherwise fine.

There's a scene where Jenna (pregnant with her second child) and Link visit a griffin city and drink a lot of some alcoholic drink that's apparently very potent. Not only does Jenna not think twice about getting heavily drunk while pregnant, but neither Link nor the griffin who brings them the alcohol show any misgivings about a woman who should be visibly pregnant getting hammered. Given that Jenna also rides her horse for long distances, crosses an incredibly dangerous desert, and fights a dragon while pregnant and nothing is said of it, it's entirely possible the author simply forgot.

When the toast is called the night before the actual wedding, Jim invites everyone "except Pam of course" to raise their wine in a toast.

They are confused, as Lily did not drink while she was pregnant, and eventually irrationally blame it on a gas leak that Lily was exposed to during her pregnancy. Never mind that gas and alcohol are two entirely different things and that Lily was exposed to the gas once, rather than the continuous exposure that would be necessary to produce any ill effects. In true Soap Opera style, it turns out the baby isn't Lily and Holden's after all; she was switched at birth with another, whose mother DID drink while pregnant, resulting in the FAS, ultimately playing the trope straight after all.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_a5a0dd85	comment	Exploited in Brave New World to explain how slaves were created: fetuses destined to be Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons are regularly administered alcohol for the sole purpose of making them shorter, weaker, and less intelligent than Alphas and Betas. A nasty rumour about the character Bernard Marx (an Alpha) claims that he is short because someone spilled alcohol in his gestation bottle since pregnancy as we know it is nonexistent in the world of Huxley's novel and people are grown in artificial vats. And yes, alcohol introduced directly into the gestation environment is a poison. Ironically, Brave New World was written years before Fetal Alcohol Syndrome was widely understood. Huxley was even criticized for the idea that alcohol could harm a fetus.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_b0fc9724	comment	Parodied in a 1992 Saturday Night Live sketch with Victoria Jackson as a pregnant housewife, Phil Hartman as her overprotective husband, and Woody Harrelson as the permissive neighbour. The neighbour offers her Irish coffee, but she swears off based on this trope. He convinces her because it's Irish coffee, the effects of the caffeine and alcohol should cancel each other out, whereupon she gulps down three cups. She then proceeds to irradiate her stomach with the microwave and fall down a flight of stairs. At the end, Jon Lovitz claims the previous bit was a true story about his mother and offers a PSA on the importance of prenatal care before shamelessly plugging Please Watch the Jon Lovitz Special.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_b1058237	comment	Averted in Empire Of Ivory, book 4 of the Temeraire series, with Harcourt. The character still avoids drinking wine, claiming that it upsets her stomach. This skirts implausibility, as the novel is set during the Napoleonic Wars, a time period when drinking plain unboiled water (which was always contaminated with bacteria, including Listeria) was immensely more dangerous to mother and fetus than drinking wine could ever be.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_b30ae4db	comment	In the season 7 finale of Game of Thrones, the first sign Tyrion notices of Cersei's pregnancy is that she, every bit the alcoholic he is, does not drink the wine he hands her, despite the intense conversation they are having clearly necessitating it. Possibly justified, because while Cersei would likely know more than anyone how harmless a sip of wine can be, scenes later in the episode show the insane paranoia she clearly has regarding the safety of herself and her unborn child, going so far as to keep her forces out of a war for the fate of humanity because she's afraid Daenerys will capitalize on her weakened army once that war is over, neglected that ignoring the war will only expedite her demise. She may very well be paranoid enough to know deep down that one glass, or even a sip, would harm the baby irreparably.

Her OB/GYN is there and excuses Jamie's behavior by saying she is taking antibiotics. Jamie also acts this way about a sip of caffeinated coffee, which she is desperate to spit out, which is an even more exaggerated variation of this trope—while a pregnant woman (or anyone else) shouldn't drink caffeine in excess, the most restrictive medical guideline is that she can get away with 200mg a day, or slightly less than three shots of espresso.

Given it came from The City Narrows, Martha likely had reason to worry. Averted in "The Impossible Astronaut": Amy Pond has no trouble sipping a glass of red wine at a picnic early enough in her pregnancy that she hasn't even started to show. Certain elements of the fandom, however, practically went ballistic over it, sure that it had to be either a clue that she wasn't really pregnant or a sign that she was bound to be a terrible, negligent mother (and a terrible human being to boot). Made much funnier because when (mainly American) fans asked the writers of that episode why Amy was drinking a glass of wine while pregnant, their response was along the lines of "... because she's Scottish?"

He and his partner nearly work themselves into a frenzy researching the possibility that they could get a kid with fetal alcohol syndrome... until they notice how some FAS information websites list restlessness and moodiness in teenagers, among other perfectly normal behavior for children of all ages, as "symptoms"—and that some of them could easily apply to ADHD. They come to the conclusion that if the child does have FAS, they'll deal, but that the risk is probably less than advertised.

During your shifts as a bouncer in bars, pubs, and nightclubs, some of the patrons in queues are women with a bit of a baby bump, which Yahtzee Croshaw in his Zero Punctuation review calls "pregnant teenagers with bad haircuts" (even though these bars prohibit underage drinking). Since most pregnant women are over 18, you can admit them in provided that they have valid paperwork. However, it's never shown what happens to the women and their unborn babies in there, though it's kinda safe to say that bars in the UK won't offer alcoholic drinks to pregnant women. And then, of course, there are pregnant CheesR addicts and pregnant Powah Pill addicts. One would have to imagine what their children would want to be when they grow up...

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_f0a86c12	comment	Plenty of examples in How I Met Your Mother: In the season 2 finale, Barney sees Robin drinking water at a wedding reception and jumps to the conclusion that she must be pregnant. Hilarity Ensues. It turns out she's not pregnant, and just happened to be drinking water. Possibly justified in that Ted had told him that something big had happened between him and Robin (part of the story of which involved them having unprotected sex). Played straight with Lily in the season 7 opener, where the group attends a wedding and Lily secretly hands her drink to Marshall. It's revealed near the end that the bride was also pregnant, and was handing her drinks to the groom.. Subverted with Lily later. Her doctor says she can drink and eat all sorts of things typically frowned upon during pregnancy as long as it's "just a little bit". Ted and Marshall frown at this but Lily gladly enjoys the occasional sip of wine or piece of sushi. When Robin and Barney have a pregnancy scare, he gets himself a scotch and her an iced tea. After realizing he gave her the wrong drink, he has to practically break her fingers to get the scotch out of her hands. In season 9 turns out Lily is pregnant again. However, she's visibly drinking in pretty much every scene. A flashback shows the scene with her placing her standing order from the beginning of the season, but expands it with her specifying that she'd like non-alcoholic drinks because she thinks she might be pregnant. It's not even confirmed until days later. This creates a Plot Hole itself since she was ostensibly drinking to deal with the stress of missing her husband and child, but if it's not alcohol why did she need constant drinks? Was the stress just making her thirsty?

However, it does become a long-term plotline that, as a first-time mother, she lacks a lot of real knowledge about pregnancy and parenthood, she gets a lot of things wrong and panics easily about even the smallest things.

One Drink Will Kill the Baby / int_fc2d494	comment	Not Always Working: This pub waiter decided on his own to refuse to serve alcohol to any woman of childbearing age because they might be pregnant. Several other customers got "virgin" drinks without being told about the substitution, presumably the poster's daughter ordered something that couldn't be made without booze because she got quizzed by the waiter about her reproductive status and then told she wouldn't be allowed to have alcohol anyway.
