Just look at their kids.
Ever heard of fetal alcohol syndrome? Do permanent birth defects sound good?
“Alcohol crosses the placental barrier and can stunt fetal growth or weight, create distinctive facial stigmata, damage neurons and brain structures, and cause other physical, mental, or behavioral problems.”

That they are 100% stupid
I don’t think you can find statistics only the hazards to the fetus of a mother who drinks even lightly, or moderately. These include Fetal Alchol Syndrome. Jaundice, damage to nerves in arms and legs, birth defects, still birth, facial defects, growth retardation, behavioral problems, eating and sleeping problems, sight and hearing can be damaged, deformed organs. A baby can be born as an alcoholic and can go through excrutiating alcholic withdrawal. I hope if you are pregnant or know anyone who is and is drinking that you are they will stop immediately and discuss this with your Obstetrician, he needs to know before hand.
“fetal alcohol syndrome” and its very serious. alcohol can and will damage as well as cause many types of defects with a fetus. im not sure if this question is for yourself or for someone you know, but however, its dangerous and i strongly suggest that whomever it is or could be, “PLEASE DON’T DRINK,” we as women have the choice to do or not do something to boost our baby’s well-being, do the right thing. if you are drinking, please stop and think about what your doing to that unborn child, your getting he/she DRUNK and he/she can’t say “mommy stop” until he/she is born and you see the efforts and thats when reality sets in but by then, its too late, SO, grab reality now, not later sweetheart! hope this helps and maintain safety first, not sorrow!!!!! email me if you choose, i speak from experience working in health care, i see it alot!
