The primary function of the area of the brain which is known as the cortex is to maintain control over the rest of the brain; this area of the brain is depressed with the presence of even low doses of alcohol. This helps to explain why a person that is drinking is less inhibited and may have a loss of control over judgment.
Statistically, the rates of underage drinking have not changed significantly since 1994.
The adolescent brain, still undergoing several maturational processes, is more vulnerable to some of the effects of alcohol and other drugs.
According to some of the latest scientific research related to alcohol, moderate doses of alcohol, consisting of 1-3 drinks a day, may have a mild antioxidant effect; this antioxidant activity tends to overcome the detrimental effects of free oxygen radicals in body tissues.
