Can I drink a 'non-alcoholic' beverage if I am pregnant?

29-year-old woman2 years ago

I am 23 weeks pregnant and I am still wondering about "alcohol free drinks", most of them have less than 0.05% alcohol. Is it safe to drink this type of beverage when we are pregnant or should I avoid it? Thank you.

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!

There is no minimum amount of alcohol that has been identified as safe. Also, these drinks may contain a slightly different amount of alcohol than what is indicated. As a precautionary measure, it is recommended to avoid these products during pregnancy.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
