Growing brain: Brain is still growing in teenagers and young brain provided given the correct nutrition can heal the damage. Do a cleanse to heal liver and gall bladder. Acute intoxication is a transient phenomenon. Intensity of intoxication lessens with time, and effects eventually disappear in the absence of further use of the substance. Recovery is therefore complete except where tissue damage exists.

Depend: It is very individual situation. Everything is possible- depend on genetic predisposition, quality of alcohol, potential combination with other drugs( ecstasy, synthetic marijuana and extr), potential head trauma about which patient might does not remember. You should bring him to er if it is a current event.
