Synopsis:
Alcohol consumption can have negative effects on the still-maturing teen brain, and research has shown that the earlier teens begin drinking the more they risk developing alcohol dependency and other adverse conditions. Alcohol Information for Teens, Fourth Edition provides updated information about the use and misuse of alcohol. It describes ways alcohol can affect mental and physical health. It discusses the special vulnerabilities of the teen brain and the changes in brain functioning that lead to dependency. A section on treatment and recovery discusses achieving and maintaining sobriety, and a section on alcohol abuse in the family addresses the special concerns of teens that live with an alcoholic relative. The book concludes with resource directories for finding help or more information about alcohol and substance abuse. This book is divided into parts and chapters. Parts focus on broad areas of interest; chapters are devoted to single topics within a part.
