**Figure 1.**
Trends in current drinking and binge drinking among pregnant women, standardized for age and race/ethnicity. Data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2011 to 2018. Age and race/ethnicity standardized point estimates and 95% CIs for current drinking (*solid line*) and binge drinking (*dashed line*) during pregnancy. Binge drinking estimates for 2014, 2015, and 2018 might be unstable because the relative SEs are 0.2–0.3.
