Though in some countries such as the United States of America, there exist health care professionals that advise women that a minimal amount of alcohol such as wine is permissible during certain stages of pregnancy, bodies such as the Surgeon General of the USA, the US National Library of Medicine, the Mayo Clinic, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), wholly recommend that pregnant women should not consume any amount of alcohol during any point of her pregnancy. FAS is a 100% preventable disease and does not occur in women who refrain from alcohol consumption.
