Think drinking’s harmless?
Your brain disagrees.
Drinking before you’re 21 can interfere with your brain’s development, and some of those effects may last for life. It’s like putting unnecessary wear and tear on a brand-new car before it’s even ready to hit the road. The best way to protect your health and your future is to wait until you’re 21 to drink.
The HIPPOCAMPUS
is responsible for your memory.
Drinking alcohol disrupts short- and long-term memory. It can make it harder to learn and remember important things. Worse, with binge drinking, you won’t be able to remember your out of pocket behavior, stuff like sending that text to your ex, that cringe post, or whatever party fouls you might’ve committed.
The CEREBELLUM controls your coordination, speech, balance, and movements. Drinking can make it harder to control these things. This is why people who have consumed alcohol slur their speech and trip over stuff that isn’t there. Those problems, which we all associate with being drunk, show that alcohol has literally and fairly immediately, disrupted the drinker’s brain functions.
The CEREBRAL CORTEX is the outer layer of the cerebrum. It’s responsible for your memory, attention, perception, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. When you put alcohol into the mix, that’s how you end up like an NPC — a lagging one.
The FRONTAL LOBE is one of the major lobes of the cerebral cortex.
It’s your physical coordination, dexterity, agility. If you play sports, this is vital. The frontal lobe is what you use in decision making, the consumption of alcohol makes it harder to control urges and emotions. Habitual drinking can damage this area permanently. Basically permanent and involuntary delulu.
Here’s the thing: Trying alcohol might seem like just another teen risk, but it’s different. Your brain’s still developing, and drinking now can mess with memory, focus, and decision-making — the stuff you’ll count on for the future. Most teens are already choosing to stay alcohol-free, and it’s one of the smartest ways to keep your brain strong. Be kind to it. It’s got enough going on.
Let’s dive into the specifics:

The consumption of alcohol makes it harder to control urges and emotions. Basically, permanent and involuntary delulu if drinking becomes a habit.
