Heavy drinking by a pregnant mother causes fetal alcohol syndrome in new born. There is permanent brain damage, though the condition may improve with treatment.

Explanation:

Brain development is adversely affected in fetal life when alcohol is consumed regularly by pregnant mother. Many times such exposure leads to birth of a baby with microcephaly (small head). As a result the child faces difficulties in learning new things.
