Impact of alcohol strength on attitudes and decisions concerning special occasion drinking during pregnancy
Perceived harm, and the ability to apply the potential harms of drinking during pregnancy to one's own circumstances, may be crucial in reducing the risk special occasions pose to alcohol exposed pregnancies. Public health campaigns should focus on facilitating this, compassionately explaining the risk of harms across a range of drinking behaviours, while explicitly tackling the stigma and shame women may experience around this public health issue.
