A member asked:
Will underage drinking result in permanent brain damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Like most things it depends upon the amount of alcohol consumed and for how many years it is done. Younger brains are more susceptible to damage but alcohol can definitely cause damage to the brain and other organs of the body.
