Abstract
Alcohol consumption strongly contributes to a global burden of disease and injury, with dependence-producing properties causing significant social and economic problems in societies. The main preventative strategy to reduce the negative effect of alcohol misuse is to avoid or postpone premature alcohol consumption as long as possible. Early onset of alcohol consumption creates a biopsychosocial risk to youth, developing into life-long problems at the individual and social levels. One reason teens are more vulnerable to alcohol is brain development at this age, and impulse control is not fully matured. It may lead to problems with peers at school, university, or in the family, also impaired mental health and cognitive disabilities. Early onset of alcohol consumption is also linked to increased risk for addiction problems in later life. However, underage alcohol consumption is preventable with individual, family, or organization-based interventions that are well proven or research-based.
