Answer 1

1. (3) Long term memory problems- alcohol tends to deteriorate your brain after extended use such as binge drinking

Answer 2

1. You are correct! Drinking only does damage to people, not help them.
2. There is no cure for FAS, and any drinking that happens during a pregnancy, no matter what age the mother is, gives a baby FAS. So, you are right!
3. Having a drink doesn't help people, it only makes them forget for a little while. Starting a new job and making big life changes would only stress someone out even more, so you are correct again.
4. All of the other options are dangerous to the baby and can give it FAS. Showing what might happen is the only correct solution.
5. Yes, you are right. Stage 3 of alcoholism is very bad for the body because of the liver and brain damage that can occur.

You seem pretty good! I hope this helps.
