As I recall from a LLL conference here in Illinois in April of 1998, Jan
Barger gave a seminar on Medications and Breastfeeding.  My notes are:
"alcohol is non-protein bound, peaks within 30-90 minutes of consumption and
is gone from milk with in 2 hours.  Maternal blood alcohol levels must
attain 300mg/dl before significant side effects are reported in the infant.
(blood levels of 100mg/dl is equivalent to a heavy, habitual drinker)"  To
me, this is the most significant aspect:  "there is a 23% reduction in milk
production for the next feeding".  Jan, if this is wrong, please correct me!
