FASD may affect up to 1 percent of the U.S. population.. It is not a hereditary disorder. It is a birth defects disorder that can be prevented by avoiding alcohol ingestion during pregnancy. Although FASD is more strongly associated with higher levels of alcohol consumption compared with lower levels, animal studies have suggested that even a single episode of consuming the equivalent of two alcoholic drinks during pregnancy may lead to loss of fetal brain cells (one drink = 12 oz of beer, 5 oz of wine, or 1.5 oz of "hard" liquor). Despite widespread knowledge of alcohol's deleterious effects, a study4 of women between 18 and 44 years of age showed that 10 percent used alcohol during pregnancy and that 2 percent engaged in "binge drinking.” See Watendorf DJ and Muenke M.
