Idaho Gov. Butch Otter and First Lady Lori Otter will be at a state liquor store in Boise Monday to kick off a program designed to warn women of the dangers of drinking while pregnant.

The Fetal Alcohol Warning Program will distribute signs for vendors, bar owners and retailers who serve or sell alcoholic beverages. Rep. Liz Chavez, D-Lewiston, championed the program as an opportunity to remind parents to make appropriate lifestyle choices.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome can occur when a woman drinks alcohol during her pregnancy, and it can cause growth deficiencies, facial abnormalities, central nervous system impairment, behavioral disorders and impaired intellectual development.
