Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A

Having sex with an alcoholic partner can have no effect on the health of the baby due to the partner's alcoholism.

You might like to ask yourself if you want an alcoholic boyfriend around when the baby arrives though. Living with an alcoholic is not much fun. You'll need a lot of help when baby arrives and if he's wasted all the time you won't get much of it. You won't have much spare cash either.

"FAS is not a genetic condition – it is not transferred from a mother or father to a child via genes. It is not caused by the father’s drinking. Male alcohol intake may affect sperm but does not cause FAS. FAS is caused specifically by the mother’s alcohol use."

Everything I've come across suggests, however, that there is no 'safe' amount of alcohol a pregnant *woman* can have.
