What are the dangers of having alcohol at 13?!?!?
Question:
Answers:
Heres your medical answer minus the lecture. Alcohol is basically poison no matter what age you are. It is extreamly hard on your liver to process it out among many other things. The worst part is that at 13 years old your organs and body are still developing forcing you body and organs to undergo an already difficult process like filtering poison from your veins at that young an age while still developing can stunt or stop your body or organ development and require you to live the rest of your life with any one of many medical disabilities. And thats just your liver. If you wanna drink, wait until you are at least old enough. thats why the age limit is there. Good luck and be safe.

MUST I GO ON? DON'T DO IT! One of my friends almost died from alcohol poisoning at the age of fourteen. She was four times over the legal adult limit and was stripping for all the guys at her house. She puked all over the place and stained the carpet. She nearly died and woke up hours later in the hospital. When she came to, she puked some more. Then later on she couldn't even taste the food she was eating and had to go to an Al Anon meeting. Do you want this to happen to you??!
In addition to the impaired judgment that it can bring to everyone, at 13 it can seriously impair brain growth and development. Not trying to scare you, but those are the facts.
It could lead to a life of alcoholism. The other dangers are the same at any age. You get drunk. Liver damage.
poisioning
brain damage
liver damage
throat cancer later in life
death
rotten teeth
ages the facial skin terribly
You could send the people who gave you the alchol to jail. Damage your body and have a chance of STDS.
Danger is you wont live to 31.
Your body is still developing at that age,so it may not react well to alcohol because it has so much going on already. Also, you may develop a dependency because you are not able to judge when enough is enough.
everything. Don't be a looser. You have plenty of time to drink. Wait until your body can handle it...unless you have an extra liver
You have no idea about moderation and can become an alcoholic
you will get fat. excercise wont even help you. the more alcohol, the harder it is to burn fat. It lowers your metabolism. And, your brain is still developing,I am thirteen, and not dumb enough to drink alcohol.
other than getting your folks in trouble are you trying to become a drunk
Well, besides going to jail or getting in trouble with parents. None really as long as you don't over-do it. I had a friend whose parents used to put beer in her bottle when she was a baby if they ran out of milk. And she's fine ... kind of.
Teenage Pregnancy, Sexually Dransmitted Diseases, School Dropout, Life on Welfare, Depression, Boredom. Lousy Future.....the list of possibilities is endless.
you could get addicted and it could make you drop out of school and live on the streets begging for money so you can buy alcohaul the rest of your life! but that is about the worst case possible. the thing most likely to happen is for your folks to find out and you get in a hell of alot of trouble. in other words
PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
alcohol is a poison. It kills cells. That is why it is used as a disinfectant, it kills bacteria. Drinking alcohol at that age attacks developing cells (which are particularly vulnerable) which can lead to stunted growth, It also attacks liver cells that cannot be regrown. The same with braincells.
Not to mention the fact that you are WAY more likeley to become an alcoholic by drinking at such a young age, thirteen year olds lack good judgement and decision making skills, which, when given alcohol, become even worse, so of course, the consequences of bad decision making escalate as well. ie, pregnancy because of drunk sex, alcohol poisoning, minor in posession violation, ect.
uhm.. having a baby at 14? an STD at 15, a habit by 16, and being all strung out, burnt out and played, before you're even old enough to drink.
Yeah, that about does it.
getting cancer.
Little kids and alchohol. It screws you up, that's what it does, it kills brain cells beleive it or not and causes false judgment, death, dumbassinatiss, liver failure.....ect, I never drink that crap and i never will, just wait until your body is more mature for the beating. the brain correct me if im wrong stops developing about 21, so if u want to screw ur brain up, go ahead, Don't let anyone pressure you into drinking alchohol or w/e cause i think that's plain stupid. " oh well ur Stupid if u dont drink" Ahhh screw you so what!?, Didn't know if u know this but more teenagers are dying ever here than in iraq and were the soldiers are. The deaths conclude of smoking, drug use, alchohol , and other substances. if u want to be in the group that goes and kills there someone else or themselves go ahead. I disapprove of teens in general using alcohol. Obviously, ppl are out of countrol with it. But yeah, It can do alot to a 13 yearold.
