New warning signs for drinking while pregnant going up in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Your favorite restaurant or bar will soon have new signs that warn of the dangers of drinking alcohol while pregnant.

The first ones started going up Friday. The campaign kicked off at Chili's at 668 East 400 South in Salt Lake City.

Terra Daniel brought her five year old daughter Briar to the event.  She was adopted and has permanent brain damage because her birth mother drank while she was pregnant.  "It's hard because people will look at her and expect her to function like a five year old, and when she doesn't, they think she's just a bad kid or they think she's just a brat or she should be disciplined better or parented better and it's very frustrating," says Daniel.

In 2009 the state legislature passed a law that requires these signs to be posted at all 1,900 locations in Utah where alcohol is served and sold by July 2011.
