Question by : how much can underage children drink before it affects them?
Im doing a report at school about alcohol and its affects on both the young and old. I have tried to search the internet but nothing has come up.
Could someone answer how much can underage children drink before it affects them, in the form of a number based on pints of larger. Its much simpler and easier then doing it for wine and spirits. Could you do for both 13 and 14 year olds.

Any extra information about the liver and cirrhosis will be great too. Thank you.
And please dont just say, ‘they shouldn’t’.

depends on how undwerage they are. Like it would probably take someone who is 13 or 14 considerably less booze than someone who’s say 18.

19 is the legal drinking age in my country BTW,.

    There are many factors that come into play such as your size and weight. A small petite girl could not drink as much as a big 250 lb. football player. Everyone has a different tolerance level as to how well their body handles alcohol. An average size person would probably feel a buzz after 2-3 beers at that age. I feel a buzz after 3 beers and I’m an adult. It really doesn’t change all that much with age if you don’t build up a tolerance for alcohol such as someone might do if they abuse it. If you just drink occasionally, it would be the same no matter what age you might be. It’s just that someone so young is not fully developed yet and would have some growing to do so they couldn’t tolerate as much as they would once they grow into adulthood, but the difference would probably not be all that much.

    I had cirrhosis and a liver transplant. Alcohol abuse is just one reason for getting it but it takes many many years of abuse to develop. It occurs when scar tissue replaces healthy tissue in the liver. Alcohol abuse causes inflammation to the liver which can eventually lead to scar tissue. It’s a very slow process. My cirrhosis was caused by an autoimmune disease.
