Research since identification in 1973 of the fetal alcohol syndrome indicates that offspring of alcoholic women who drink heavily during pregnancy are at high risk for physical and mental deficiencies, and that even "social drinking" during pregnancy may have detrimental effects on birthweight and behavior of infants. While further research and remediation efforts are needed, primary prevention and active intervention in counseling and obstetrical clinics seem clearly and urgently called for.
自1973年发现胎儿酒精综合征以来的研究表明，孕期大量饮酒的酗酒女性的后代存在身体和智力缺陷的高风险，而且孕期即使是“社交性饮酒”也可能对婴儿的出生体重和行为产生不利影响。虽然还需要进一步的研究和补救措施，但在咨询和产科诊所进行一级预防和积极干预显然是迫切需要的。
