FAS FAQ: How Can Prenatal Exposure to Alcohol Affect the Child in the Long-Term?

Children prenatally exposed to alcohol can have serious long-term problems as they grow up. For example, their brains can be damaged, and they can have a lower IQ. They can also have trouble remembering things from one day to the next. Socially, they can have trouble making and keeping friends; this is in part due to their inability to understand social cues.
