Which has the same info and doesn't single out women unless the effect is directly related to pregnancy.

So, yeah, I think the author of the Post story jumped straight to outrage.

Responses:

They're referring to an infographic poster they released and not what's in that release. The poster's much worse. - nic to be determined Feb 4, 21:20
yea, to me it just seems like the author is lookin for something to be mad about or has an agenda - dogbert Feb 4, 19:55 2
- I'm willing to accept that I'm not seeing something that would be readily obvious to someone female. - TWuG Feb 4, 19:58 1
  - It looks more general to me. It's part of a list of who shouldn't drink, not an outright statement to women on that topic. -- nm - nic to be determined Feb 4, 20:37
