One in 13 pregnant women say they've consumed alcohol in the past month, according to a new report.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study today on alcohol use among women of childbearing age.

Half of women said they drank wine, beer or liquor within the past 30 days, along with 1 in 13 pregnant women.

Among pregnant women, the highest estimates of reported alcohol use were white, college graduates, and between the ages of 35 and 44.
