Yes, easier than adults due to the lower body mass no. teenagers are completely impervious to any and all effects of alcohol and drugs. overdose is physically impossible.

But really. yes. it happens all day. about once every two minutes (basing this statistic on absolutely nothing) a teenager dies in an alcohol-related fatality. In-fact, teens are MUCH more likely to o.d. due to inexperience. i.e. low tolerance, binge-drinking, lower body weight [in combination with the fact that most are oblivious to how long it really takes for a drink to reach its maximum blood-alcohol potential (about a half hour) as well as how long it takes for past drinks to leave the blood stream (about an hour)] and the fact that alcohol is a poisonous substance etc. etc. and if that's not enough just go to wikipedia and look up ethyl alcohol
