KIIS FM: Are they Encouraging Fetal Alcohol?
This was brought to our attention by two high NineZero Peer Educators from Valley View High School who heard KIIS FM, in their opinion, encouraging alcohol during pregnancy.

A few comments made in the aired segment:
Friends from Europe drink alcohol all through pregnancy.
A friend last night was having wine, encouraged by her doctor.
If your healthy, your doctor will say that it is okay to have glasses of wine throughout the pregnancy.
They did not come out and state drink all you want, but their were two distinct realities at hand.
The first reality - that doctors are continuing to encourage their patients that a few glasses (which 'few' is a relative term) will not hurt.
The second reality is that wine has branded itself as a "better -for-you" alcohol than beer or hard liquor. It seems refined and thus seems safe. Wine has the same percentage of alcohol by the volume in which it is poured to a single shot of hard liquor. If a woman would not drink a shot of hard liquor she should be aware that a glass of wine is no different.
Again it is a gambling game of your child's health that doctors have not solved. Why run the risk as Ryan Seacrest said "of the associated risks"?
The time is now for healthy thriving babies free from fetal wine, beer, hard liquor, and other spirits.
