Does alcoholic drinks stops the growth of a teenage person?

No: There would have to be a lot of alcohol to do that. Alcohol kills living tissue. It will destroy brain, the lining of your stomach and your liver. There are many other bad things it does to you. That is why it is regulated by so many laws.
