Because young people's bodies are smaller and still in the process of developing, the use of alcohol will have a greater impact on their physical and mental health then it has on an adult.
When an individual drinks alcohol, only about 20% of it is absorbed into their blood stream from the stomach.
Research suggests that all pregnant women should be screened for alcohol use during prenatal visits. Women who are positive for alcohol, or prove to be at-risk, should be identified early by physicians and referred for counseling and treatment.
Some of the negative effects that are commonly linked to alcohol abuse include problems at school or work, not meeting family responsibilities; drunk-driving arrests and automobile crashes; and drinking-related medical conditions.
