But in fact the adolescent brains are still maturing and the affects of alcohol are much more complex. It is unknown how alcohol will affect the long-term memory and learning skills of individuals who began drinking severely as adolescents.
Liver Effects- Increased liver enzymes,showing some degree of liver damage. This has been found in adolescents who drink alcohol. Young drinkers who are overweight portray prominent liver enzymes even with reasonable levels of alcohol.
Growth and Endocrine Effects- In both males and females puberty is related to hormonal changes. These hormones increase other hormones and growth factors which are essential for ordinary organ development. Drinking during this time of growth and development may trouble the necessary hormonal balance for normal organs, muscles, and bones. It also shows that it can effect the maturity of the reproductive system.
