Question by Cordelia<3Dolce: Underage Drinking?
Im a recovering teen alcoholic and I dont understand why its okay for adults to drink but not kids? I think drinking is a unresponsible act period and can cause ALL human beings physical injuries. Im so sick and tired of society today promoting drinking and then u get easily judged for it when it becomes a prob. Anyone can become addicted.
Feedback please<3 Cordelia<3Dolce Best answer:

Yes, any one can become addicted but not every one. Not all people have the genetic predisposition to alcoholism. At least you found out while you are young and can learn to avoid it.

Because the adolescent brain is still developing it is harder for teens to make appropriate decisions in a lot of matters, in particular in taking risks. The risk of drinking is only one issue.

I wish you well in your continuing recovery.
