I posted this a while back an figure it qualifies as helpful info
I just thought I'd share this information for anyone who's worried or curious about whether they can/should have a drink or not. My LC gave me chart that shows how long it takes a drink to clear your system (and your milk) based upon maternal weight:
For a 100 lbs mom: 1 drink will clear your milk in 3 hrs, 2 drink will take 6 hrs, 3 drinks will take 9 hrs, 4 drinks will take 12.5 hrs, 5 drinks will take 16 hrs and 6 drinks would take 19 hrs to clear your system.
For a 120 lbs mom: 1 drink will clear you milk in 3 hrs, 2 drinks will take 5 hrs, 3 drinks will take 8 hrs, 4 drinks will take 10.5 hrs, 5 drinks will take 13 hrs and 6 drinks would take 16 hrs to clear you system.
