According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), adolescence is a critical developmental phase involving significant physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioral changes. Because of this tumultuous phase in development, teenagers are particularly vulnerable to the potentially serious and long-lasting alcohol-related consequences.
