Controversial subject! Alcohol and pregnancy!

Now first and foremost Im gathering opinions! Claws in! Lol

Ok, so Im a wine drinker.  I haven't actually had any since I found out I was pregnant.
My doctor told me the last time I was pregnant that a glass of wine with dinner is harmless. She even told me that "light drinking" during pregnancy is fine. But since everyone has a different opinion of what light means they tell you just not to.
No judgement from me, but does anyone indulge in a glass of wine or a beer now and again? I don't mention liquor for obvious reasons lol
Usually the general consensus is "its bad don't do it".  So is smoking but I always see women smoking while pregnant. My doctor said she'd so much rather see someone drink a glass of wine before smoking a cigarette while pregnant. I find this rather confusing!  
How do you feel about light drinking in pregnancy?
Im not so much of a wine drinker I cant wait 9mths,I guess. Im running into a problem though ...I haven't told family yet. My family is big on social drinking and I usually never turn down a glass or two.lol they're gonna suspect something soo . Ha ha
Again, I cannot stress enough that Im just curious and this isn't intended to cause fights!

My friend just informed me that there is an alchool free wine. I do not think any is safe during pregnancy. But to each his own. :)
