Post hoc tests demonstrated differences between the FAS group and both exposed and unexposed controls, as well as between the unexposed controls and PFAS, ARND, and exposed control groups. The average number of standard drinks consumed during pregnancy on weekends (Friday through Sunday) and during the week showed no statistically significant differences between groups. Adding the drinks per weekend to drinks per weekday produces a greater quantity than the simple question, “how many drinks did you have per week,” as the more focused the time period, the higher the reporting of drinking. In Table 1, drinks consumed per drinking day (DDD) during pregnancy is statistically significant overall (F = 16.14, p <.001). In post hoc analyses it also differentiates between each of the diagnostic groups and unexposed controls, FAS and exposed controls, and between exposed and unexposed controls. Finally, bingeing at both 3 drinks (χ2 = 117.22, p <.001) and 5 drinks (χ2 = 69.92,
