Alcohol Causes Birth Defects?

Another Wednesday is once again upon us. Today, I would like to share another sign I found while hanging out in Flagstaff. The first one was a shoplifting sign, which was a little um…unusual. This one is an Alcohol warning about it causing birth defects.

Of course I have seen this warning  before, mostly on liquor bottles and beer cans. But I have never seen it on a door in a hotel room. And it wasn’t just on the main door, but ALL of them. One on the bathroom, another on the main door, and two more on the suite room doors. Here is a close up of the sign:

Alocohol Warning?

Alcohol Warning on Hotel Door

Sorta weird huh?

Has anyone else seen a warning like this in a hotel room or some other weird place? Lately I have been noticing more and more weird signs all over the place…

    I remember seeing that sign in a bar awhile back, but never in a hotel room. Maybe they had a mini-bar with drinks in the room?

  2. Justin says:

    @ Sarah That’s what I was thinking at first. Except the suite did not have any fridges or alcohol in it anywhere.

  3. I have not seen one lately, but notice the ” phrase during pregnancy”. So , the sign is not for the male species, but specifically for pregnant women. It is certainly weird seeing that sign in your hotel door. Have a good day!

  4. Pssh! Hotels and their birth defects marketing against alcohol. I’m know doctor but I know there are most likely other things to cause birth defects like; cocaine, heroine, off-key singing, George Bush, John McCain, hillbillyness.

    Crazy. Only in AZ would you find that.

  6. Justin says:

    @ Dwayne Haha yeah I think there are plenty of other things to be worried about besides alcohol.

    @ Ace I agree, only in Arizona…

    Personally I think we could do with these signs anywhere there is alcohol, you can never be too aware.

    I dont have a problem with the sign. Maybe it was something other than a hotel before and they just didnt take the signs down. It could be anything!

  9. Alex says:

    Wow so Beer causes that? I wonder how Homer simpson Survived!

  10. Jenn says:

    Alcohol causes birth defects??? I just thought it caused the pregnancy (hehe). Ii guess you learn something new everyday.

    Well, maybe they had way to many future moms who ordered some champagne to celebrate their pregnancy ;)
