Young Joints: I would bet that given you are still in the middle of growing that your joints are very sensitive. You may be out growing your body's ability to keep up with the bones getting longer and all the tissues the joints need for health. Drinking is very dehydrating and a depressant. Drinking regular or heavily is not good health for a number of reasons but especially when you are growing.
