Oregon consumers will soon be
seeing signs posted in stores, bars and
restaurants warning about the effects of
drinking alcohol during pregnancy.
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-

-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.
