A member asked:
Hypothetically, if a 16 year old were to get drunk two or three times, would they suffer from permanent brain damage, or would it be temporary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not very smart: Unlikely to have permanent or temororary brain damage after 2 drunken episodes, but certainly possible to minor gegree beacuse brai is till in formative stage & thus still developing. Drunk 2 or 3 times by age 16 years places you at severe risk for becoming an alcoholic. Please get help if you feel tempted or compelled to consume more than an occasional sip in presence of your parents.
