    This study addresses the relationship between alcohol use during pregnancy and miscarriage. A cohort study of pregnant women (n=1061) recruited from 1996 –1998 in the San Francisco area. 3% (n=32) drank 4 or more drinks per week, 38% (n=403) consumed <4 drinks per week and 59% (n= 626) reported no alcohol intake. Women were also categorized by the type of alcohol consumed. An increased risk of miscarriage was found for 1) women who drank four or more drinks a week and 2) women who drank spirits. Future research assessing miscarriage risk should consider the volume and type of alcohol consumed
