Some researchers are studying whether or not choline can help prevent alcohol related diseases in unborn babies.  I think it's kind of a shame that pregnant women can't manage to just STOP DRINKING for less than one year.  I mean, it's not critical to sustaining life, and the dangers of pregnant drinking are WELL documented and explained.

I'm very fortunate that Leeanne has the gumption to abstain from alcohol while she's been pregnant with all our children.  That's why I support her each time by not drinking either.  I think it's important for us to be in it together, and maybe that's part of the problem.  I know a lot of guys who would rationalize it away by saying that THEIR drinking isn't hurting anyone.  But I love this woman and I'm proud of her for not drinking, and I know that she wouldn't drink even if I did, but hell, I still open her car door, too.

I know she can do it on her own, but that's WHY I still do it.  To show her that I love her and that I'll go out of my way even for something as small as a car door.  Or a beer.
