If You Are
Pregnant, How Much Alcohol is Safe?
|
It seems so harmless. A glass of wine, a beer or one
little drink, how much could it hurt? At last a program that tells it like it
is. For women who are, or may be pregnant, consuming alcohol in any quantity
is like playing Russian roulette. You are playing with the life of a child and
may be risking lifelong mental, emotional and physical disabilities. Your
drinking could cause a lifetime of pain, suffering, and disappointment. Produced by Emmy Award winner David Gray, this powerful
documentary features two nationally recognized Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (F.A.S.)
experts. F.A.S. is the leading known cause of mental retardation, according to
the Journal of the American Medical Association. It is 100%
preventable. After watching Last Call, you will know why drinking
during pregnancy isn’t worth the risk. This video will help you educate
mothers, their male partners, families and friends about the need to stay away
from alcohol during pregnancy.
