New $2.9 million NIH grant will lead to a better understanding of how alcohol use before conception influences the child’s risk for developmental disorders, chronic disease and accelerated aging.

Chronic alcohol abuse by parents heightens their children's susceptibility to liver cancer and other health risks, according to new findings.

These accelerated aging effects include high cholesterol, heart problems, arthritis and early onset dementia.

Research from the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences found that prenatal exposure to alcohol in males can manifest in the placenta.
