Studies show in-utero alcohol consumption can cause ADHD, autism and other neurological conditions.
Women in Ireland who drink while pregnant are creating children three times more likely to crave alcohol, according to a leading specialist in the field.
Studies also show in-utero alcohol consumption can cause attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism and other neurological conditions.
Foetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), which include foetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), alcohol-related birth defects and alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND), are thought to affect about 700 babies born here every year.
The disorders can be trans-generational, passing down through one generation after another in some families.
