Fetal alcohol syndrome is a condition that often results in birth defects, mental problems, and behavioral problems. It is directly linked to alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Although the condition is permanent, it is also completely preventable. If a woman does not drink alcohol while she is pregnant, her child will not develop fetal alcohol syndrome.
