Alcohol & Pregnancy Don't MixAs part of our commitment to public safety and the responsible use of alcohol, the LDB actively educates employees and the public about the risks of alcohol use during pregnancy. In addition to a yearly in-store campaign targeted at FAS awareness, the LDB has developed — in consultation with the BC Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Society, and endorsed by the doctors, nurses and midwives of B.C. — brochures and posters containing valuable information about alcohol and pregnancy. These materials are available to BC Liquor Stores customers and health care workers throughout the province.
The brochure on alcohol and pregnancy is available for downloading below or by phoning 604-252-3199. .
