Alcohol Awareness Month Fact: About 3% of pregnant women binge drink, according to the CDC. An estimated 120,000 births per year are at high risk of being affected by alcohol exposure.

ON, Canada: A developing fetus does not have this metabolic safeguard. This means alcohol crosses the blood-brain barrier and subjects the brain to high levels... of alcohol for a longer time. It spells disaster for the developing brain. Studies show that about 60% of these children, burdened by a host of neurological mental problems, end up in prison or a mental health facility. And the lifetime cost of one of these children has been estimated as high as $1 million. #LivingWithFASD See more
