The finding of repeated alcohol misuse is supported by a preponderance of the evidence showing, inter alia, that respondent twice tested positive for high levels of alcohol, on one of which occasions she was observed breast feeding the child just prior to the administration of the test (Family Ct Act § 1046 [a] [iii]; see Matter of Stefanel Tyesha C., 157 AD2d 322, 328 [1990], appeal dismissed sub nom.
