And if no one is studying prenatal alcohol (I suggest studying adopted kids/adults),how can one base theory on science? Must study this!

There are some adoption data on FAS: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/135/2/264.full …, http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/132/4/e980.short …, http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/125/5/e1178 …. Thankfully, not so common.

1st says missed diagnosis rate 80+%! 2nd-literature review!? 3rd 71 kids and only 5 years after adoption!(problems arise later).No studies!

How you can say "not so common" based on those three studies (totalling 227 kids) seems strange. Science?

Be less presumptuous and read more carefully. You need prevalence rates, not absolute counts. FAS is your hobbyhorse, not mine.

Lots of papers specifically on that question. Here's a recent one arguing for a high-end of the range number. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19731384
