What are statistics for people with FAS who had children?

Answer by KeppyDearest
No, FAS only occurs when the gestating (pregnant) mother drinks to excess during the pregnancy. It is not a genetic disorder, but rather, one that has been inflicted by the use of alcohol during pregnancy.
If a child with FAS grows up and has children, they have NO chance of having Fetal Alcohol Syndrome unless THEIR mother uses alcohol while pregnant.

Answer by SwedishBoy :P
Yes. A mother who drinks while pregnant can disable many generations of family.
