No. It is a condition that occurs in newborns as a result of exposure to large amount of alcohol in utero (while still in the womb). It happens when pregnant women drink during their pregnancy.
It is not genetic and you cannot inherit it.

∙ 15y agoNo. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is caused by the mother having too many drinks during her pregnancy. A few drinks (1 or 2) during the last trimester is considered safe by most doctors, as the fetus is typically already developed by that point, it is only growing in size. It's during the first and second trimesters that drinking can be detrimental to the developing fetus. FAS is not likely to happen if the mother has a few drinks, but rather, drinks quite heavily.
