Non-Alcoholic Drinks: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Wine and pregnancy aren’t exactly the most compatible of partners. Whilst everyone has their own take on drinking during pregnancy, I’ve pretty well steered cleared of anything vaguely fermented socially and in professional situations have been sure to ‘taste’ not ‘drink’ (ie made full use of the spittoon).
