From the Mayo Clinic:

Pregnancy or breast-feeding. Women who are expecting or breast-feeding need additional fluids to stay hydrated. Large amounts of fluid are used especially when nursing. The Institute of Medicine recommends that pregnant women drink 2.3 liters (about 10 cups) of fluids daily and women who breast-feed consume 3.1 liters (about 13 cups) of fluids a day.

Drink about 8 eight ounce glasses of water. Also try to drink cranberry supplements such as cranberry tea. You could also take cranbery pills. The cranberry juice is loaded with sugar. Also read the response to "Should you drink a lot of water during pregnancy."

The right amount of water is important when your pregnant. To much water is harmful. You retain more water during your pregnancy than normal. I was told to try to drink at least 8 eight ounces glasses a day. You also want to try to take either a cranberry pill or drink cranberry tea. The juice is loaded with sugar. The cranberry helps with not only getting rid of the some the fluid by making you have to urinate, but it also helps with urinary tract infections. Keep on drinking the water, but also add something else in if eight glasses is to much.

It is not advisable to drink alcohol while pregnant. While some doctors say that light and occasional drinking is likely to leave the foetus unharmed, many doctors insist on cutting out alcohol completely for the duration of the pregnancy. Drinking while pregnant is not recommended as it can cause birth defects in the foetus.

Each country says different but pure alcohol is a NO, but half a glass (small) of wine a day haven't shown to be any danger.

Yes it is bad to drink alcohol when you are pregnant!

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Effect are directly related to female consumption of alcohol. For the sake of the unborn child's take a 9 month break and save a life time of brain damage.
