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.

Is fetal alcohol syndrome enviromental?

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is primarily caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol, which is a behavioral factor rather than an environmental one. While certain environmental factors, such as socioeconomic status and access to healthcare, can influence the likelihood of alcohol use during pregnancy, FAS itself results from the direct effects of alcohol on the developing fetus. Therefore, it is not classified as an environmental syndrome but rather as a consequence of maternal behavior.
