" Pregnant women can drink? Really?  Vino-loving moms-to-be cheered when a recent British study found that a drink a week might be okay. But don&amp;#039;t raise a glass just yet: &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t know how much alcohol may be safe, but we do know that too much has detrimental affects, from preterm labor to brain damage,&amp;quot; says ob/gyn Lisa Masterson, M.D. Another reason to abstain? People are often worse at tracking their intake than they think. &amp;quot;Doctors are taught to take the amount someone says they drink and double it!&amp;quot; she says. Her bottom line: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t feel guilty about a little sip on New Year&amp;#039;s, but don&amp;#039;t make it a habit either.&amp;quot; Send your health questions to askthedoctors@redbookmag.com. Lisa Masterson is an ob/gyn and cohost of the syndicated talk show The Doctors. Check your local listings for times. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
