A new born baby in Poland was found to have 15 times the adult drink drive limit after its mother got drunk right before the birth. The baby is safe and doctors are monitoring the baby girl to see if there are any ill effects. And the mother could now face up to five years in prison on charges of having endangered the life and health of her child.
Blood test of the 38-year-old woman showed that she had a level of 1.2 grammes of alcohol at the time of birth. And the infant was found to have 2.9 grammes of alcohol per 1,000 grammes of blood. For your information, a level of 1.2 grammes of alcohol per 1,000 grammes of blood is the equivalent of a bottle of wine or two liters of beer for an adult drinker. So, imagine what would be the effect of 2.9 grammes of alcohol on a new born baby. Link
