A member asked:
My friend has been drinking 3 times a week for about a year and he's only 16. will that have any effect on his fitness in future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES it might..and: He's lucky to have you as a friend. Ethanol during adolescence may interfere with brain maturation, functioning, cognition (knowledge, comprehension, reasoning) and appropriate behaviors. Alcohol related problems, vulnerability to addiction and other brain impairments are also more likely to happen subsequently. Mris confirm! brain sci. 2013, 3, 396-414; doi:10.3390/brainsci3010396.
