You can check what Hale says directly - and while he doesn't actively
*recommend* mothers use alcohol, his calculations are clear. It's not
an encouragement, but nor is it any indication that anyone can order
a mother who is drunk not to breastfeed . My discomfort was at the
assumption the evidence was such that we could tell any mother when
she 'should' and 'shouldn't' breastfeed.
Note I am not saying there is no effect on the baby - just that the
*symptoms' of the baby's drunkenness (which you alldued to) would not
be *seen* until the mother was very, very intoxicated.
