This article presents data on the awareness of the alcohol beverage warning label among a sample of 5,169 inner city African‐American gravidas seeking prenatal care. While the label law was implemented in November 1989, a significant increase in knowledge of the label did not occur until March 1990. Women who predominantly consumed wine coolers and beer, and those under age 30 were more likely to know about the label than their counterparts.
