Answer: Cognitive disabilities and birth defects. One of the possible effects of alcohol on a fetus is cognitive disabilities and birth defects.

Explanation:

When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol she may be harming her fetus's development, as alcohol can go through the mother's blood into the fetus's blood and affect his/her cells' growing capacity. The effects that drinking alcohol while pregnant can produce in a fetus are that the baby can have distinctive facial defects like a small head or a flat face or a diverse range of birth defects that can harm the baby's overall health. It can also create cognitive and behavioral problems for the baby as he/she grows up.

Hope this helps :)
