Interweaving interviews with real teens who have experimented with alcohol, animated sequences demonstrating how a growing fetus is affected by alcohol use inside the womb, plus a personal look at a young woman growing up afflicted with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), this program demonstrates the unique risks that alcohol poses to women.
Also, it presents the impact of alcohol use on women's bodies --how women metabolize alcohol differently than men; why size and gender matter when it comes to drinking; the biology of alcohol addiction and the link to permanent brain damage; and the indelible horror of FAS.
