I am a retired psychiatrist. drinking alcohol whilst pregnant causes birth defects of babies including Foetal alcohol syndrome. It is estimated that now 1 in 25 children in England now have foetal alcohol syndrome with all the long term damage including cognitive damage.
In the first five minutes of episode 1 of Mammals, James Corden gives his pregnant girlfriend champagne in a hot tub ( later in the episode she miscarries, the story line does not make it clear if this is alcohol related in anyway). This storyline normalises harmful behaviour without spelling out the risks in anyway. Copy cat behaviour from the media coverage is well known ( eg suicide coverage and the risk of increasing suicides by inappropriate coverage), I am concerned this storyline will increase drinking alcohol in pregnancy and as a consequence foetal alcohol syndrome
