In social situations with friends and family, a glass of wine or a cocktail - quite normal for most people. But of course this doesn't work during pregnancy.
As a pregnant or breastfeeding woman, can you only use water or juice?
No! There are delicious non-alcoholic drink alternatives for cocktails and long drinks that are also suitable for pregnant women.
The so-called “ mocktails ” taste reminiscent of alcoholic drinks, but have no alcohol content or only a very low alcohol content of up to 0.5 percent by volume.
There are many non-alcoholic cocktails based on well-known alcoholic drinks. However, the term “ alcohol-free ” does not necessarily mean that the alcohol content of the product is zero.
Most non-alcoholic alternatives still contain 0.02 percent to 0.5 percent alcohol. The level of residual alcohol in non-alcoholic drinks varies from drink to drink.
But alcohol during pregnancy, isn't that a problem?
According to experts, the amount of up to 0.5% alcohol is considered tolerable as long as several glasses are not drunk immediately or the consumption becomes a habit.
Non-alcoholic gin alternatives or similar products are usually mixed with juices and/or soda and tonic water . This reduces the alcohol content per glass significantly.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not toast with such non-alcoholic cocktails every day, but occasionally this is not a problem at all. Clinking glasses every now and then has not caused any demonstrable harm .
The Berlin Charité also confirms that no danger to the child is to be expected here. In the end, this is a personal decision that everyone has to weigh up for themselves.
POLLY's non-alcoholic spirits have a residual alcohol content of up to 0.5%.
Compared to a non-alcoholic beer with 0.5% per 500 ml, a mixed drink with POLLY has significantly less alcohol content for the same amount.
This is because for a non-alcoholic cocktail, only around 2-5 cl of the non-alcoholic spirit is mixed with various juices, tonics or sodas.
What many people don't know is that alcohol is also hidden in many other foods.
For example, most fruit juices contain a small amount (up to 0.4%) of alcohol due to the natural fermentation process . In apple or grape juice it can even be up to 1%.
A small amount of alcohol can also be detected in naturally fermented foods, such as very ripe bananas or raw sauerkraut .
