Binge drinking and the risks to adolescent health

Authors

Abstract

Adolescence is a phase characterized by physical, emotional and social changes that make adolescents more susceptible to risky practices and behaviors. One of these common practices is excessive alcohol consumption, known as “binge drinking”, which causes numerous acute and chronic health problems. This article presents some characteristics observed in adolescent development and the consequences of excessive alcohol consumption for physical and emotional health, and its repercussions on community life.
