No, but consuming alcohol during pregnancy can lead to impaired mental development in a condition called Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
There is no scientific evidence that alcoholismof the father increases the risk of Down syndrome.

No, drinking while pregnant can lead to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, miscarriage and other birth defects
If a woman drinks alcohol during her pregnancy, her baby can be born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), a lifelong condition that causes physical and mental disabilities. FAS is characterized by abnormal facial features, growth deficiencies, and central nervous system (CNS) problems. People with FAS might have problems with learning, memory, attention span, communication, vision, hearing, or a combination of these. These problems often lead to difficulties in school and problems getting along with others.
From what I've read in books and magazines any type of drinking could lead to Fetal alcohol unless you have only a sip. Talk with your doctor maybe they can give you ultrasound and make sure everything is okay.
Drinking during pregnancy causes fetal alcohol syndrome. Babies with this condition have problems with learning.
Drinking alcohol when pregnant can cause harm to the unborn fetus and is therefore classed as a poison during pregnancy. The alcohol can cause the fetus to be deprived of oxygen and nutrition; it could also cause fetal alcohol syndrome after birth, which can lead to mental and physical deformities.
alcohol can cause FAS or fetal alcohol syndrome, babies with FAS may have grand mal seizures, lowered IQ (around 60 to 80 i think) and irregular bursts of electricity in the brain. kids with FAS show signs much like kids with down syndrome
Down syndrome is not caused by premature birth. Down syndrome is present in the embryo from the time of conception. Down syndrome, in contrast, may lead to premature birth.

People with high functioning down syndrome can in some cases lead completely independent lives.

Alcohol can lead to a variety of problems in the reproductive system of the male.Men continuously make sperm throughout their lives.It has been shown that alcohol consumed by the male can enter the testicles via the bloodstream. Alcohol then seems to mutate some of the characteristics of his sperm.
No, Down Syndrome is strictly a genetically inherited condition; though taking drugs during pregnancy can lead to other health problems for the baby.
