"[Richard] Gallagher said the brains of adolescents are different from adults and they... progress from a 'little high' to 'very drunk' rapidly... Teenagers can quickly drink, get alcohol poisoning, pass out and get hurt or killed."Sadly, despite all the warnings, few teens believe they're at risk when they drink, which means occurrences of underage drinking continue at alarmingly high rates. To counter this behavior, experts advise parents to talk to their teens about the dangers of drinking, and to set clear rules about alcohol. Source: The Sun Sentinel (MA)
