I just don't get it...

So I'm flipping through one of my magazines, and there is this new product on the market for breastfeeding Moms. Well, maybe not new, but featured in this magazine. It's called the Milkscreen and it's purpose is to screen breast milk for alcohol content. Now, I am all for safety and everything, and maybe I shouldn't judge because as much as I love a good drink I can very easily go without, but if you're breastfeeding, here's another idea.... DON'T DRINK! And it's advertisement says, "Provides a fast and accurate method to let you know if your milk contains a level of alcohol that may negatively impact baby". Wouldn't ANY amount of alcohol negatively impact your baby?
Maybe I'm way off base, but it just seemed really weird to have it. But then again, they also have the "at home" Breathalyzers that you can use too. Another idea is not to drink and drive, but I guess I'm making these things way too simple. Sad that people are buying them...
Thanks and sorry for the vent. The next post will go back to being happy and funny.
