The brain is made up of more than 100 billion neurons, each making tens of thousands of connections. Alcohol can damage or even kill neurons, perhaps altering development of those parts of the adolescent brain that are still forming. Research suggests that alcohol can cause teens to:

2. develop a tolerance for alcohol and drink more over time




3. take risks they usually would not take




4. harm their memories




5. cause problems with medications

Hey katyzzz my dad became an alcoholic after my mom died, and as a teen I used alcohol often. Alcohol destroyed my relationship with my dad and cause many problems for me as I was growing up.

My advice to anyone young or old stay away from alcohol it will destroy your body, mind, relationships with family, and friends.
