    Alcohol is an anxiolytic analgesic that depresses the central nervous system. Fetal alcohol syndrome is the most common cause of mental retardation, characterized by growth issues, cognitive impairment, and facial abnormalities caused by impaired neural development from alcohol exposure in the womb. Factors like placental blood flow, organ development rates, metabolism, and fetal susceptibility influence whether a baby exposed to alcohol develops the full syndrome or the less severe fetal alcohol effects. Fetal alcohol syndrome occurs in 1-2 of every 1000 live births for women drinking at least 6-7 alcoholic drinks per day during pregnancy.

    Alcohol An anxiolytic analgesic with a depressant effect on the central nervous system (CNS).

    . Ethanol one of the most common abused drugs. Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) most commonly known cause of mental retardation, characterized by fetal & neonatal growth retardation severe cognitive impairment because of impaired neural development, microphthalmia, short palpebra fissures, midfacial hypoplasia, abN palmar creases, cardiac defects & joint contractures. Neonatal with partial expression FAS fetal alcohol effects. exhibit full blown FAS : Factors Variations in placental & fetal vasculature. Different rates of organogenesis. Different rates of ethanol metabolism. Elimination by the fetus, and differences in fetal susceptibility to teratogenesis.

    FAS occurs in approximately 1 2 infants per 1000 live births; 2.5 10% of women with alcoholism. FAS occurs drinking reaches 6 7 drinks per day (one standard drink is the equivalent of 12 ounces of beer or a 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5 ounces of liquor, or approximately 15g.
