Exclamation Alcohol and the Adolescent brain.

Perhaps a source of understanding for parents. This is a long, fully referenced and well written explaination of how alcohol interacts with those going through adolescence.
The purpose of this summary is to briefly discuss recent findings regarding adolescent substance use, adolescent brain development, and the impact of alcohol on adolescent behavior and brain function.
