Sorry....that still sounds dogmatic to me!
I think we need to know more before we can be sure what we are talking
about is not opinion, or value-judgement, or cultural...all of those
motivations are fine, of course, as long as they are recognised for what
they are, and they don't get mixed up with fact or research or science.
I suspect, for example, that my relative liberalism about drinking while
breastfeeding and indeed at any other time has a cultural element in it
(though my views are backed by our govt's dept of health, and by the major
health professional organisations - all of which probably share the same
cultural bias as me!).
And to set the record straight, I don't drink much at all myself (at least
I don't think I do!).
