Drink away

A surprising news story caught my attention this morning. Latest research at the Oxford University study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health says expecting mothers who binge drink occassionally would cause minimal harm to their baby. However more research needs to be carried out to to ascertain these results.

The obvious question that comes to mind is are we trying to prevent people from going on a binge drink or we are promoting this culture? Such a news story will only encourage people to drink more instead of the opposite effect. And it will put the lives of many babies at risk.

I am confused why research every few years brings out contradictory results.
