Fetal Alcohol Syndrome with alcohol abuse – not moderate consumption.

A Wisconsin woman is refused a celebratory glass of champagne at an office function.

Two Seattle waiters are applauded by the local media for refusing to serve a woman a strawberry daiquiri.

Another waiter in Texas offers wine to a woman’s companion, but tells her, “I’ll get you some milk.”
