A major characteristic of prenatal alcohol intake is a subsequent birth weight decrement. Experimental animal work has demonstrated that nutritional effects apart, there is a strong, direct alcohol effect responsible for this decrement. Consistency in this effect of birth weight decrement has been demonstrated in a range of species. Early work with animals had equally demonstrated that this effect can be transitory and that catch up is possible. Quite recently, human studies have supported such animal findings to the extent that now we need to question even more strongly our approach required for counselling on alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
产前饮酒的一个主要特征是随后出生体重下降。实验动物研究表明，除营养作用外，存在一种强烈的直接酒精作用导致这种体重下降。在一系列物种中都证实了出生体重下降这一效应的一致性。早期的动物研究同样表明，这种效应可能是暂时的，体重有可能追赶上来。最近，人类研究支持了这类动物研究结果，以至于现在我们更需要强烈质疑我们在孕期饮酒咨询方面所需的方法。
