    Underage drinking can cause significant and potentially lifelong brain damage because adolescent brains are still developing. Brain scans of 15-year-old drinkers show much less brain activity compared to non-drinkers. Underage drinking affects key areas of the brain involved in emotion, memory, and decision making. Each year, around 4,300 deaths of those under 21 are estimated to involve alcohol through drinking or accidents.
