How to Think About Non-Alcoholic Drinks During Pregnancy
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publishes guidance on alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Refer to the CDC's pregnancy resources for the current authoritative position.
For non-alcoholic drinks, the relevant question for a pregnant or breastfeeding consumer is whether the product contains ethanol. Products labelled non-alcoholic do not contain ethanol added in production. The Phony Negroni falls into this category.
Beyond the alcohol question, pregnant consumers may want to discuss the broader ingredient profile of any non-alcoholic drink with their healthcare provider. The Phony Negroni's ingredients are all-natural and food-grade, but every pregnancy is different, and a healthcare provider is the right source for individual guidance.
What to Discuss with Your Healthcare Provider
A few questions a pregnant or breastfeeding consumer may want to raise with their doctor or midwife when considering any non-alcoholic cocktail:
- Whether the product is fully free of ethanol, or contains trace amounts under a non-alcoholic label
- Whether any of the botanical ingredients have specific considerations during pregnancy
- Whether the consumer's individual pregnancy history changes the answer
For the Phony Negroni specifically, the ingredients are listed on the label and on the product page. Bringing the label or product page to the appointment can help the conversation.
