Best answer:

Answer by Joshua
Drinking at a young age isn’t the greatest idea.. It may make you feel good and you like to do it for what ever personal reasons but it can have sever effects on your body and your brain. Your body is still in the development stage and can alter the growth process of your body. It can damage your brain cells along with destroying your liver at any rate young or older. But while under development it can stunt the development causing your liver to not function nearly as well when you get older.
If you are of age to drink then after time it can cause your liver to build scar tissue, hindering it’s ability to function. However youth has a tendency to heal better and faster than older people and ultimately can affect them at a greater magnitude.
