A member asked:

Can alcohol consumption at a young age affect growth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not physical growth: Alcohol in young age may not affect physical growth but will certainly affect psychological development. You need to learn how to manage in the world and alcohol will make this learning much more difficult.
