The signs read: “Alcohol and preg nancy do not mix. Drinking alcoholic beverages including wine, coolers and beer during pregnancy can cause birth defects.” The Oregon Liquor Control Commission is distributing the signs free of charge to businesses with liquor licenses. The signs are the result of a law passed by the 1991 Oregon Legislature. The law stipulates that an 8-l/2”x l l '’ warning sign must be posted at the entrance to the business or a 5"x7" sign must be displayed at the point of sale of alcoholic beverages such as registers or tables in liquor licensed businesses by June 30. Businesses whose customers pri mary speak a language other than En glish may order the signs in that lan guage from the OLCC. Businesses also have the option of developing and dis playing their own signs if they meet the requirements of the law. The legislation requiring the warn ing about the dangers of drinking dur ing pregnancy was sponsored by Or egon Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition, the Junior Leagues of Port land and Eugene, the March of Dimcs- >4 » * ****** & ? ' ’♦ * • > ■ '' • * -, -Birth Defects Foundation, the Asso ciation of Retarded Citizens of Oregon and the Women’s Commission on Al cohol and Drug Issues of Oregon. Oregon is the ninth state to require alcohol warning signs wherever alco hol ic beverages are sold. The eight other states that require the signs are Alaska, California, Delaware, Georgia, Maine, Nebraska, South Dakota and Utah. “The need for the signs arose be cause many people in the health and social services fields fell the informa tion about the dangers of drinking dur ing pregnancy just wasn’t out in the public’s eye,” said Danielle Cowan, OLCC Public Affairs director. “The signs arc intended to raise public aware ness on the issue,” she said. “According to research, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is the leading cause of preventable retar dation.” Children born with the syndrome arc characterized by mental retarda tion, retarded growth, hyperactivity and facial malformations. One estimate is that one in three infants in every 1,000 is born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. The average IQ of a FAS child is 65 to 68. Children with some symptoms of FAS arc termed FAE, Fetal Alcohol Effect. It is estimated that in the United States, one child in 350 has FAE.
