How long should you wait to breastfeed after having a few drinks?

Breast feeding: it is not a good idea to drink when you continue to breast feed but if you do have to use a breast pump and store your milk in the freezer that you can thaw and feed your baby but you should wait at least 4 hours after consuming alcohol in an event you did not store your milk
