Effects of Teenage Drinking
The effects of teenage drinking can be quite serious. The
most serious effects of teenage drinking is that it leads to adult dependence.
Other effects of teenage drinking include decreased inhibitions that may lead
to risk-taking behaviors. Alcohol intoxication impairs the judgment and teens
who are intoxicated may engage in a number of dangerous behaviors.
Teen alcohol use nearly always causes poor performance in
school, if the teen is using on any kind of a regular basis. Teens who use
alcohol have trouble concentrating in class and on assignments. They also have
difficulty with peer relationships and with relationships with teachers and
other authority figures.
