>>The male human brain doesn’t mature until about age 24, so for ADD/ADHD males that means he should not touch any alchohol until he is nearly 30-years old.

What happens if he does drink earlier than that (errr, you know hypothetically speaking ...)?

I’m not a doctor but an educated guess is this: alchohol goes straight from the tongue into the brain and kills millions of brain cells. That has to be devastating for a young developing brain.

Just to be on the safe side, I’ve told my nephew not to smoke, drink adult beverages or use drugs such as marijuana until he is over 25 years of age. By that time, hopefully, he will not be tempted to do stupid things and it won’t be an issue.
