If you're allowing the child to take in alcohol, absolutely.

It's not that hard to time your drinks, once you know your metabolism and your child's feeding schedule.

For example - it takes about 1/2 hour for alcohol to go from stomach to breastmilk. From there, you can generally follow the "one drink, one hour" rule. So, if your kid is on a 2 - 2 1/2 hour feeding schedule, you can feed him, have a beer, and by the time he's ready to eat again, it's out of your system.

If you let a drunk feed from your breast, and no children are involved, then I'd say no.

It is an irresponsible behavior amounting to child abuse.
