My mom was given similar advice while nursing me. So was the mother of a
friend of mine. But these days in the US they're saying "no alcohol".
One reason, I think, is that alcohol is mildly dehydrating and dehydration
is the last thing you need while you're making milk.
I'll probably go back to the occasional drink sooner this time around. I
would *really* like a good margarita. Maybe in January.

Darker beers are better, IMO. (So, please don't offer me a Corona, OK,
folks?) I think they also have more of the stuff that's in beer that's
good for you, as well. (IIRC some of those things are antioxidants....)

but Chuck drank the last Shiner Bock and all we have now is the stuff my
mom bought when she was here, which *isn't* dark, so I won't be tempted by
the beer in the fridge
