This indicator shows the percentage of women who reported binge drinking during the three months prior to pregnancy. Binge drinking is defined as having four or more drinks on one occasion. Please note: this definition changed from five to four drinks in 2009. These results cannot be compared with measures from 2008 and earlier.
Why is this important?
Alcohol is the leading cause of birth defects and developmental disabilities such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). The effects of FASDs include mental retardation; learning, emotional and behavioral problems; and heart defects. Each year in the United States it is estimated that up to 40,000 babies are born with FASDs. In addition, 1 in 12 women report alcohol use during pregnancy. Alcohol-related birth defects are 100% preventable if women do not drink alcohol during pregnancy. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy also increases the risk for miscarriage and premature birth. It is advised that women planning a pregnancy completely abstain from alcohol.
