Describe the impact of alcohol on a developing fetus

Please provide the best answer for the statement.


Alcohol passes through the placental barrier, and because the fetus’s liver is not mature enough for detoxification, the alcohol can remain in the amniotic fluid for much longer than it would in an adult. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) can result in growth deficiencies and facial abnormalities, and it is the leading cause of intellectual disability.
