Prenatal alcohol exposure: 45% higher hazardous drinking at 16

University of Bristol examined the impact of prenatal alcohol exposure on multiple risky behaviours in over 6,000 teens born  in the 1990s – finding that adolescents with “infrequent” and “frequent” PAE were more likely to develop hazardous alcohol use at 16 years old compared to those without PAE, with the strongest link for the “frequent” group.
