If a woman drinks alcohol during her pregnancy, her baby can be born with FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome), 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.

FAS is a permanent condition.
