ANNCR: You may not be planning on having children for a while, but we are always thinking about our future. So when the time comes, remember there is no known safe level of alcohol to consume while pregnant. When a pregnant woman drinks, so does her baby. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders are 100 percent preventable, but not curable and are linked to more than 60 disorders. You want your child to one day have a choice for their future, right? When your time comes, make the right decision for your baby.
