When did it become widely known to medical professionals that drinking during pregnancy was a bad thing?
Have a scene with a pregnant young woman at a party, set around 1913. She's the daughter of a doctor and would be very familiar with the medical knowledge of the day -- and would not drink if she knew it was bad for the baby. (She's late in the second trimester, if that matters.) I'm not sure if she would even be aware of FAS at the time, though.
(It would be helpful to the plot to have her have a hangover the next day.)
