It causes too many problems to list. Here is an article from webmd.com about fetal alcohol syndrome. http://www.webmd.com/baby/tc/alcohol-effects-on-a-fetus-topic-overview

My half-brother (same dad, different mom) is a fetal alcohol baby. He looks normal on the outside, but he's way messed up on the inside. Bi-Polar Disorder, ADD/ADHD, anger issues, drug and alcohol dependence, attachment disorders, and more.

Bottom-line, it isn't worth it. Do NOT drink while you are pregnant!
