Research indicates that the human brain continues to develop into a person’s early 20’s and that exposure of the developing brain to alcohol may have long-lasting effects on the intellectual capabilities and may increase the likelihood of alcohol addiction. The age when drinking starts affects future drinking problems. For each year drinking is delayed, the risk of later alcohol addiction is reduced by 14 percent.
