The Texas Gulf Coast March of
Dimes Birth Defects Foundation
launched a new awareness campaign
on the dangers of consuming alcohol
during pregnancy.
The campaign encourages local
business that sell alcoholic beverages
to post warning signs regarding the
effects of fetal alcohol syndrome.
The Center for Disease Control’s
Birth Defects Monitoring Program
estimates that FAS and other alcohol
related birth defects occur in two out of
every 1,000 live births.
There were 3,517 live births in
Brazoria County in 1994. Statistics
indicate there were seven cases of FAS
or other alcohol-related birth defects in
the county. However, many cases are
not reported because symptoms are not
always easy recognizable at birth.
Community Council on Alcohol and
Drug Abuse is an Angleton-based
organization that presents alcohol and
drug education programs on a regular
basis.
“We include some education on fetal
alcohol syndrome in our regular edu-
cation program,” Brazoria/Matagorda

Dimes said. “Birth defects are signifi-
cantly underreported throughout the
nation"
Each year in the greater Houston
area, which includes Alvin and its sur-
rounding communities, 160 babies are
born with FAS or other alcohol-related
birth defects.
Expectant mothers in the Alvin area
must travel to Angleton, Galveston or
other neighboring communities to give
birth because Alvin Medical Center
does not have a birthing center.

FAS was discovered in 1973 by Drs.
David Smith and Kenneth Jones of the

research proved a specific pattern of
birth defects is linked to consumption
of alcohol by pregnant women.
