Here's what Paolo Nencini says in the article: "The negative consequences of having sex when intoxicated were extended to the product of conception, as we can infer from Plato's quite amazing description of what we now call the 'fetal alcohol syndrome.'" I didn't mean to imply that Nencini was being anachronistic. His use of "what we call now" and quotation marks around FAS shows that he is well aware that FAS is a modern construct.
