Hate to break this to you Fetal Freddy, but drinking and smoking have been cited as causes of cerebal palsy. Don't believe us? Read causes of cerebral palsy.
Alcohol and cigarette smoking both have powerfully adverse effect on a fetus’s development and are frequently underestimated as a cause of cerebral palsy.
Fetal alcohol syndrome debilitates a number of systems and can cause microcephaly, facial dysmorphisms, severeintrauterine growth restriction, mental retardation and cerebral palsy. It has been estimated that 8% of children suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome later contract cerebral palsy. This percentage may be higher in developing nations where the abuse of alcohol may go unnoted. In addition, neuronal migration in inhibited by alcohol in the fetus and can lead to CP.
