Question

question 5 / 5
a major reason why drinking can be especially dangerous for young people is because:
teen brains have not completely developed until they are in their mid - 20s
teens tend to drive more than adults
teens absorb alcohol more quickly than adults
teens tend to text and drive more than adults

Explanation:

The brain undergoes significant development during adolescence and early adulthood. Alcohol can disrupt this development process. Teen brains not being fully developed until mid - 20s is a key biological reason for the increased danger of drinking for young people. Teens driving more, absorbing alcohol more quickly (not a proven general fact), or texting and driving more are more behavioral/situational factors rather than the major biological reason related to the inherent danger of drinking for their age group.

Answer:

Teen brains have not completely developed until they are in their mid - 20s.
