Many historical records have been taken out of context when reviewing the history of prenatal alcohol exposure, and the impacts of these histories on modern-day FASD research have been overestimated. Historical records, as early as biblical times, do suggest at least a working awareness of an interaction between alcohol and reproduction of some kind. Contrary to assertions made in some fetal alcohol research, these records do not suggest an ancient awareness of the deleterious effects of alcohol on the developing fetus. Historical records regarding alcoholism and reproduction need to be interpreted critically, in context, and in consideration of the Zeitgeist, or the Spirit of the Times.
在回顾产前酒精暴露的历史时，许多历史记录被断章取义，而这些历史记录对现代胎儿酒精谱系障碍（FASD）研究的影响也被高估了。早在圣经时代的历史记录确实表明，人们至少对酒精与某种生殖之间的相互作用有一定的实际认知。与一些胎儿酒精研究中的断言相反，这些记录并未表明古人已认识到酒精对发育中胎儿的有害影响。关于酗酒与生殖的历史记录需要结合当时的时代背景、考虑时代精神，进行批判性解读。
