New research, led by Professor John Macleod from the University’s School of Social and Community Medicine, has found that moderate drinking during pregnancy — three to seven glasses of alcohol a week — does not appear to harm fetal neurodevelopment, as indicated by the child’s ability to balance.

The study, published in the journal BMJ Open, has received national coverage including The Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Australian, The Huffington Post, The Independent, The Daily Mail, The Mirror, The Sun, The Scotsman, Nursing Times.
