That probably reflects the fact that Europeans tend to drink far more than Americans anyway. Over here a pregnant woman is far less likely to drink than a not pregnant woman. (Page 12 of linked PDF)
(I'm on mobile at the moment so I'm having trouble finding rates for dependant drinkers who don't cut down while pregnant. That first link suggest 2% of pregnant women don't cut down or even drink more, but that doesn't tell me how much they used to drink - someone drinking one glass once a month moving to one glass once a fortnight has doubled their consumption but probably isn't doing any harm)
