Abstract

Keeping in mind the limitations of the methods, we believe that long term effects in humans are very likely to occur at levels of maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy of 300 g or more of absolute alcohol a week. Below this level the evidence is conflicting and open to methodological objections. We continue to support the recommendation from our results of immediate outcome of pregnancy that, allowing for a margin of safety, women should not have more than one standard drink a day (70-85 g absolute alcohol a week), and only as much as this if abstinence is not feasible.
