So they treat alcohol itself? Like, by adding water? Or just talking to it? I get the impression from that site that the NIH isn't even sure what alcohol is.

It's a very poor wording but the context clues show it is to treat alcoholism (or something like it) rather then alcohol itself.

The "context" being, confused doctors who don't know English?

If alcohol is so healthy, how come my pregnant wife cannot drink any? Right, it kills cells, all kinds.

There had actually been some recent research that says moderate consumption while pregnant has little to no effect on the fetus.

Recent research vs thousands of kids with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. See the pictures, I'll take no alcohol any day vs kid looking like that.

I wouldn't want my child's liver busy cleaning out Alcohol in any capacity during development, let alone while in the womb.

Fetal Alcohol syndrome comes from extremely heavy drinking. An occasional glass of wine hasn't been shown to have the same effect. That being said, my wife didn't drink when she was pregnant either.

Would you and your wife be willing to take the risk?

It doesn't, the mothers body removes alcohol long before it reaches the fetus or the placenta.

I answered your question already. I'm waiting for more research until we decide. But using, it's bad for fetuses, as a means to vilify alcohol didn't make a lot of sense when the science is still out.

Alcohol is in the blood, hence the term BAC. The fetus gets it's blood from the mother (that contains alcohol)... so how is it removed first?

Our doctor recommended it for child health.

What do you mean she can't drink any? I've only heard doctors recommend it to pregnant women, never tell them to avoid it. I've known a lot of people whose doctors told them that they should consider drinking while pregnant as stress is the bigger danger during pregnancy. We were just talking a few days ago about how our doctors were always telling my wife to have red wine while pregnant.

Do you have the source for this? Because once alcohol enters mother's bloodstream, it's free to enter placenta, and into fetus bloodstream.

It can't be zero, because a fetus removed alcohol from the blood through the placental wall.

Actually, the fetus has its own blood. Mother and child do not share blood.

Exactly, they never recommended more than "a glass or two of wine". But the certainly didn't say that she couldn't have any. She has assumed that she could not drink and they told her that that was a myth.
