Kids suffer from drink because they start drinking while their organs (Liver etc) are still developing . It stunts the development of organs .
Same will all other organs (except one) .
I truly believe that kids need to let their bodys mature and develop whilst they are growing.
When all organs are developed and fully grown- only then can we abuse them and get away with it.
I look at people I went to school with many years ago--and all the ones who smoked, drank and sat on their backsides at break times--these days are dead or look like old men and are wheezing, puffing and panting etc.
I was different- and now- am as fit as a butchers dog--Tall,good looking -as horny as a dog on heat and drink like a fish.
Next year- when I am 30 I hope to continue doing the same .
