Answer:

Babies born with fetal alcohol syndrome are proof that alcohol is a teratogen

A teratogen is an agent that causes an abnormality for the fetus  during pregnancy . Drinking alcohol during pregnancy causes Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.This is because the alcohol passes through the blood and get into the womb thereby reaches the fetus.
