Booze And Teens

A new and serious study finds its effects far worse than marijuana:

Abnormalities have been seen in brain structure volume, white matter quality, and activation to cognitive tasks, even in youth with as little as 1-2 years of heavy drinking and consumption levels of 20 drinks per month, especially if >4-5 drinks are consumed on a single occasion. Heavy marijuana users show some subtle anomalies too, but generally not the same degree of divergence from demographically similar non-using adolescents.

The pot-prohibitionists have no arguments any more. And at some point, even in America, that has to matter, no?
