That actually isn't true, though. I know the article makes it out that way, but there's been a lot of research done that shows the exact opposite, hence why many health groups (including those run by women) say that it's best to not drink at all. There is no consensus on whether or not it's safe, or how much is safe, so the best course is to avoid alcohol.

There's been lots of research into how random FAS can be, it can take one episode of binge drinking for an otherwise sober mother to cause it, it can accumulate over time, or it can not happen at all even if the mother is downing a jug of vodka every day. There's also certain periods of development where the fetus is incredibly vulnerable to alcohol and other drugs. And there's periods of development where the fetus isn't vulnerable and drinking even heavily is probably totally fine, but that really isn't a gamble to take with a child's life.

Calling it "scaremongering" is imo pretty bullshit, since there's no way of a woman knowing how much is safe for her to drink. It's like saying vaccine advocacy is "scaremongering", since not everyone who isn't vaccinated get's polio. And "shaming?" Exposing a child to the possibility of getting a 100% avoidable disease is absolutely shame-worthy.
