Although it has long been known that alcohol should be avoided during pregnancy, the specifics have become clearer. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant need to make plans about their use of alcohol. Sometimes alcohol can lead to FAS — fetal alcohol system. Dangerous Effects Alcohol has many negative effects on babies in the womb. Alcohol passes directly to the fetus through the mother’s blood. However, the baby’s body has less ability to process alcohol than the mother’s. Also, alcohol tends to linger in the fetus longer than in the mother’s body.
