Is it true that drinking alcohol during pregnancy can harm a fetus?

Yes. Substantial clinical and preclinical evidence demonstrates that consuming alcohol during pregnancy can cause severe neurodevelopmental, structural, and growth impairments in the fetus, commonly referred to as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 9 sources for, 0 against · Last checked 4 Oct 2026

The analysis

The retrieved literature contains numerous studies examining the harmful effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on fetal development, including neurotoxicity, brain morphologic disruption, growth stunting, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. None of the papers refute the claim.
