According to potsdam.edu, in a recent study, 400,000 women consumed alcohol and there were no affects on the child when consumption was under 8.5 drinks per week.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome only occurs among heavy drinkers/alcoholics
A follow-up of children at 18 months of age found that those from women who drank during pregnancy, even two drinks per day, scored higher in several areas of development.
