Teens Drinking Cause Irreversible Brian's Damaged

On my second paper, I chose a topic on teens drinking. I chose this topic because a lot of my friends drink and being the person in the middle and sometimes being peer pressure would know a lot about teen drinking aside from brain damage by toxic chemicals. I didn't know about that before but I decided I want to know more about how alcohol assumptions affects the brain and cause them to do things that harms others and themselves.
