A member asked:
Might drinking under the age of 21 affect your growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could make you fat: Let's leave the question about underage drinking alone. Alcohol is a carbohydrate. Carbs contain calories. Calories can make you fat if you consume more than you burn. Extra calories as alcohol or anything else won't stunt your growth--expect the opposite.
