Most teenagers think it's normal to drink at a young age and they continue to do so. Little do they know there is a reason for the legal drinking age and a reason as to why adults tell you to wait. When you are young your brain isn't fully educated on much and cant make proper mucher decisions the way an adult would be able to. Not only does drinking already mess up your undeveloped liver but it can also start a young addiction and mess up your already mindset and priorities. For most people once they drink for the first time they continue to do it for the rest of their life. So it is smart to not even start.
