The effects of FAS will then follow that child for life and impair that childs life in a drastic way.  The bad news is that despite the preponderance of evidence, many women continue to drink while they are pregnant (What is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? 2002). This does not  necessarily mean that they drink in excess, simply that they drink at all - which is enough to produce the syndrome (What is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? 2002).  Of course, the possibility does exist that some women simply do not know about FAS or how to avoid it.
