Alcohol and the fetus. 1992

B Larroque

The teratogenic effects of alcohol have been recognized in the fetal alcohol syndrome. The syndrome is associated with very high levels of maternal consumption. Studies of the relation between much lower levels of consumption and pregnancy outcome seem to indicate consistently lower birthweight among children born to mothers drinking more than 140 g absolute alcohol per week, or about two drinks a day.
