an alcoholic usually denies that he/she is an alcoholic and the addiction messes with everday interacting with other friends, work, school, studies. In its essence addiction is a hamrful, artificial habit that you don't need really. If you are pregnant, alcohol is a no no for you, since it messes with the brain development of your unborn child... so ponder some more about this, if you don't want for your child to be born with some brain injury or deformation... be smart, be safe...
