WARNING: FASD doesnβt just stand for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. It also stands for From Alcohol Stems Death- Death of a chance at true normalcy, Possibly death of your child. Beware, take care.

For an additional prompt on FASD, I chose to imagine what a poetic warning might look like if posted as a "Surgeon General" warning on the back of a bottle of alcoholic beverage.
