A member asked:

Can drinking a cup of beer with 2/3 of its 356 cm^3 volume filled with water once/week stunt your height growth? started drinking at 7 or 8 years old

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bad idea: Bad idea to be drinking alcoholic beverages starting at 7-8. I am not sure however that this may be solely the reason for one's stunted growth if that is the case. So many other factors such as genetics, malnutrition, etc
