American pregnancy stated that, "When you consume alcohol, so does your baby. Alcohol freely passes through the placenta to your baby. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy increases the chance that a baby will be born affected by a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) are the full spectrum of birth defects that are caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. These effects are life-long and irreversible. The good thing is that they are 100% preventable." This site prove my points about how alcohol get to your baby and it affects the fetus. FASD is an illness that causes neurological and mental effects that range in severity. Also particular quote doesn't say anything about how alcohol could make your baby a premature but it does talk about Fetal Alcohol spectrum disorders. That disorders causes many other disorders in neurological structure, growth, and other life threating diseases. The worst part about drinking while your pregnant is that your baby has to suffer for something it even couldn't control.
