Fetal alcohol syndrome is a condition directly linked to alcohol consumption during pregnancy. It can lead to birth defects, mental problems, behavioral problems, among other things. However, the condition is also completely preventable. If a woman does not drink alcohol while she is pregnant, her child will not develop fetal alcohol syndrome.
