Drug Wars - Last Call
The Sobering Truth About Drinking During Pregnancy

Best Seller

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is the one and only birth defect that is 100% preventable.

How much alcohol is safe for a pregnant woman?

It seems so harmless. A glass of wine, a beer or one little drink, how much could it hurt? For women who are pregnant, or who may be pregnant, consuming alcohol, in any quantity is like playing Russian roulette with the life of a child. They may be risking lifelong mental, emotional, and physical disabilities, and a lifetime of pain, suffering, and disappointment.

Finally a film that tells it like it is.

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, or FAS, is the leading known cause of mental illness. It is also the only birth defect that is 100% preventable.

After watching Last Call, your viewers will know why drinking during pregnancy is never worth the risk. This video will help you educate mothers, their male partners, families and friends about the need to stay away from alcohol during pregnancy.

"Last Call is appropriate for professionals as well as the general public. We plan to use the video for community presentations, service provider training, and for broadcast over our local public television station."
Carol Yakish, FAS Team Support Specialist, Kodiak, AK

"...this program's strength lies in presenting a holistic approach that is often overlooked in other videos. It brings together the physical, emotional, and psychological impact of the problems caused by prenatal consumption of alcohol, not just for the child but for everyone who is in that child's life..."
