Description

This poster promotes alcohol free pregnancy for all women with the slogan 'none for nine' - nine months of no alcohol. Mixing words with colourful illustrations, the poster uses messages such as 'pregnancy and alcohol don't mix', and briefly describes how alcohol affects an unborn baby's brain. It explains that alcohol exposure in the womb can lead to Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). The poster also promotes World FASD day on 9th September each year.
