Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are lifelong physical, cognitive, and behavioral effects caused by prenatal alcohol exposure.

In practice

Effects include distinctive facial features, growth restriction, and difficulties with attention and learning.

Where people slip

No safe quantity has been established, which is why guidance is abstinence rather than a threshold.
