“…A number of studies published after this meta‐analysis including 2 large cohorts found that any alcohol intake was associated with higher risk of preterm birth (Aliyu et al, ; Miyake et al, ; Nykjaer et al, ; Salihu et al, ). However, other recent studies found no association (Baron et al, ; Cooper et al, ; Dale et al, ; Lundsberg et al, ; McCarthy et al, ; Meyer‐Leu et al, ; Sbrana et al, ; Smith et al, ; Strandberg‐Larsen et al, ), and one study indicated lower risk among drinkers compared to nondrinkers (Pfinder et al, ), which is in accordance with previous studies suggesting an apparently beneficial effect of a low‐to‐moderate alcohol intake (Albertsen et al, ; Jaddoe et al, ; Kesmodel et al, ). It has been discussed whether these findings may be due to residual confounding (the healthy drinker effect) caused by the inability to adjust for lifestyle and socioeconomic factors (Bailey and Sokol, ; Henderson et al, ; Henderson et al, ; Patra et al, ; Pfinder et al, ).…”

“…Other studies reported significant association between alcohol consumption during pregnancy and LBW. 9,14,25 In Pelotas (RS, Brazil),the risk of LBW was four times higher; 9 in Ribeirão Preto (SP, Brazil), 1.62 time higher; 14 and in Bahia, 7.9 times higher, 25 compared to pregnant women who did not consumed alcohol.…”

“…In addition to LBW, literature also shows other complications associated with alcohol consumption in pregnancy, such as abortion, malformation, perinatal mortality, among others. 14 Evidences demonstrate that the alcohol consumed in pregnancy crosses the placental barrier, which allows the prolonged exposition of the fetus to the ethanol from the amniotic fluid. This substance not only harms the cell divisions but also inhibits the retinoic acid synthesis, an embryonic development regulator, producing negative effects to the fetus development and health, including serious complications as fetal alcohol syndrome.…”
