Facts
Do the terms "alcohol and pregnancy" ever make sense? Is drug and alcohol abuse during pregnancy ever a "good" thing? Stated differently, are there any verifiable "benefits" for drug abuse and drinking alcohol during pregnancy? The alcohol and pregnancy and drug abuse research literature clearly demonstrates that the answers to these questions is "no." In all 50 states, it is illegal to drink under the age of 21. The consequences are comparable across the country for drunk driving incidents involving intoxicated underage drivers, although sentences and punishments vary. 56% of students in grade 5 to 12 say that alcohol advertising encourages them to drink. With 29,000 annual victims, SUICIDE is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. Alcohol and illicit drugs are involved in about 50 percent of all suicide attempts.
