How Does Alcohol Affect the Brain?
Unfortunately, the brain is the one organ that is most affect by alcohol. Surprisingly though, many pregnant woman do not know this nor do they understand what damage they can do to their unborn child.
Alcohol damages parts of the brain that give us memory, self-control, coordination, and judgment (thus, cause/effect and consequences). Most children with FAS have problems with learning, attention spans, behavior, and fine motor skills because of this.
