High alcohol consumption is a social problem in our country and the world. The paper analyzes Russian and foreign literary sources for studying fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). By now, there have been a certain amount of studies on female alcohol use during pregnancy. FAS is observed for 1000 live newborns. There is no standard accounting system for the diagnosis of FAS/FASDs in any country of the world. A historical reference is given regarding the nature of alcohol effect on the fetus; however, the problem of the effects of alcohol metabolites at the biochemical and molecular levels requires further investigation. The babies who were born with the signs of FAS are noted to have phenotypic changes in the cerebral cranium and viscerocranium, morphological changes in brain tissue, mental disorders, and behavioral, neurological disorders. To prevent the occurrence of FAS/FASDs in children, it is necessary to enhance the role of medical workers in educating young people about the risk factors of these diseases.
Conclusion: the dissemination of modern information and the transfer of knowledge to pregnant women and reproductive-aged women by physicians, psychologists, social pedagog-ists, and social workers about the irreparable harm of their alcohol use done to the child are extremely important to prevent FAS and FASDs.
It is necessary to fix the attention of the society on the problem of FAS, to popularize a healthy lifestyle, to foster the alcohol use culture, as the ubiquitous availability of alcoholic beverages and the lack of self-discipline lead to harmful consequences.
