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

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

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?
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.

What effect does alcohol have on a fetus?
A woman who drinks alcohol while she is pregnant may harm her developing baby (fetus). Alcohol can pass from the mother's blood into the baby's blood. It can damage and affect the growth of the baby's cells. Brain and spinal cord cells are most likely to have damage.

This is what actually happens... mouth > mother's blood > diffuses to fetus' blood > returns to mother's blood.
But I think that the diffusion rate is very, very low as it naturally goes the other direction.

If a doctor told my wife to drink during pregnancy, that would be the last time we'd see that doctor. She's under a care or multiple doctors in the practice, not one will tell you to drink, and every single one will strongly suggest otherwise.

Well sure, if you are self selecting doctors that only tell you what you've decided is good advice - you have chosen the advice then found a doctor that says it. Rather than choosing the doctor and getting their advice.
It's a bit like only hiring Windows Admins, then saying that all IT people you know recommend Windows.

It's not about being selective, it's following common sense. If you had diabetes, would you listen to a doctor that tells you to drink 4 cans of coke a day? Or if you had high blood pressure and a doctor told you to eat a pound of bacon or sausage for breakfast, would you still listen? Or let's get straight to alcohol, you have liver disease, doctor tells you to have a 6 pack for lunch, now please don't tell me you wouldn't want to punch the guy in the face?

If I have liver disease and am asking a doctor if I should be drinking, I am an idiot. We aren't talking about a situation where you already know the answer. We are talking about one where we need the advice.
In ANY situation where you need advice, you can't preselect using "common sense." Otherwise, by definition, you'd not need to know at all.
-
@scottalanmiller now replace liver disease with pregnancy in that first sentence. It's a known fact that alcohol damages both liver and fetus. The difference is liver can regenerate, fetus cannot.
-
Like I said earlier, it's the amount that matters.
I'm only assuming here, but I would think a doctor would specify "moderate" drinking. If you define moderate drinking, you'll see it can be from 1-4 drinks per episode, but no more than 7 per week for women. It depends on the source. I've seen to stay under 0.055% BAC.
https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohol-health/overview-alcohol-consumption/moderate-binge-drinking
specifies moderate drinking as no more than 1 per day for women.I also have never seen any recommendation stating and specifying anything other than "moderate" drinking.
So unless you stay within the confines of what moderate drinking is, always... you cannot use drinking for health to justify drinking more than moderately.
