As M says, there are so many areas of risk and the research to date suggests that very moderate drinking doesn't affect your baby at all.

FAS is a serious problem and my husband personally knows three people affected by it but downing a bottle of wine a night is *very* different to having 1/2 glass of wine once a month at someone's wedding or your birthday.

I suppose for me, this will just allow the same people who tell me not to lift up my own handbag, not to eat pineapple (WTF?) and generally believe that me getting pregnant stops me being able to make adult decisions for myself even more ammo. And all of this is not based on research but just yet another cheap way for the government to claim it's tackling the serious drink culture we have in the UK.
