Can a fathers drinking cause Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)?
To date, there is no physical link between a father’s drinking and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). However, a mother’s drinking can be influenced by the drinking behaviors of those around her, including her partner. A partner can have a positive or negative effect on a mother’s drinking behaviors during pregnancy. A supportive non-drinking environment can be a great help to the pregnant woman.
