There is strong evidence that drinking alcohol in moderation is not harmful to very young people. Young Jews, Greeks, Italians, French, Portuguese, and others regularly begin drinking at a very early age and suffer no ill effects.

The argument that drinking damages young brains is based on (1) studies of young rats fed large quantities of alcohol and (2) young people in alcohol or drug abusers undergoing therapy. The findings only address alcohol abuse, not moderate drinking.
