According to the National Institutes of health, children who begin drinking before the age of fifteen are four times as likely to become alcoholics as teens who abstain from drinking.
Drunkenness is a form of escape and a maladaptive coping mechanism; however, it can happen to anyone who drinks who has any level of tolerance.
A new animal study suggests that a chemical in the brain called galanin produces a "positive feedback loop" that increases the craving for alcohol.
A study of 4,700 twins found that teens that have friends that consume alcohol are more likely to drink themselves, but this influence may be especially strong for girls.
