Is it safe to drink alcohol in small amounts during pregnancy?

No, there is no known safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy. Alcohol can pass to the developing fetus and may affect growth, brain development, and overall health, potentially leading to serious lifelong conditions. Because of these risks, health experts recommend avoiding alcohol completely during pregnancy.

If you or someone you know has questions or needs support, the Mass Behavioral Health Help Line (call or text 833-773-2445) offers free, confidential help and can connect you to local resources.
