Answer to Question 1

Alcohol is produced by a process called fermentation, which was discovered thousands of years ago. Fermentation occurs when single-cell microorganisms called yeast metabolize the sugars found in fruits and grains, ultimately producing ethanol and carbon dioxide. Once the alcohol content of a beverage reaches a certain point, fermentation stops naturally. Depending on the strain of yeast used, fermentation usually stops naturally in a barley-based beer when alcohol by volume (ABV) reaches four to eight percent and in a grape-based wine when ABV reaches 11 to 14 percent.

Answer to Question 2

The MyPlate website recommends that breastfeeding women can have an occasional alcoholic beverage if they are cautious and follow these guidelines.a) They should wait until the baby has a routine breastfeeding pattern, at least 3 months of age, before consuming alcohol.b) They should wait at least four hours after having a single alcoholic drink before breastfeeding.c) They can also express breast milk before having a drink and use the expressed milk to feed the infant later.
