Does Alcohol Consumption In Pregnancy Lead To Mental Or Physical Disorders?

I have a friend who frequently indulges in an alcoholic drink and she is 10 weeks pregnant. I have heard that it can lead to complications with the baby. Does alcohol consumption lead to mental or physical disorders? Is it a myth or is there scientific research that proves the connection?
