Research on alcohol's effects on the developing adolescent is still in its infancy, despite the fact that many young people begin drinking during adolescence. Evidence exists that people who begin drinking at an early age are more likely to have problems with alcohol later in life. Research also has shown that adolescence is a time when remarkable changes are taking place in the brain. Dr. Linda Patia Spear examines findings on alcohol's effects in adolescents, with special emphasis on the impact of alcohol on neural and endocrine development. Though the research in this area is scarce, gender-specific effects are highlighted whenever possible. (pp. 287-291)
