I know my mom and MIL drank throughout their pregnancies without giving it a second thought.  I choose to be slightly more cautious and I avoid it pretty much completely before 20 weeks (I do have an occasional sip and I probably wouldn't avoid something cooked in alcohol).  After that point, probably once a month or so I'll have half a glass of wine or half a beer or a small mixed drink.  As the third trimester progresses, I may have 1-2 half glasses a week.
