Brown Group 2014 research project was about the affects of underage drinking. They informed us that underage drinking can lead to sex, suicide, arrest, death, homicide, suicide, memory loss and change in brain development. The brain affects that they discussed were issues such as structural problems, smaller brains, and the exposure to drinking disrupts development. With drinking being an issue with college students, though they are on a dry campus, it affects their school work. A lot of underage drinkers do it because they think that it is cool and they are trying to fit in with another group of people who drink. 31% of people from the age of 18 to 20 binge drink. Binge drinking is basically drinking primarily to become intoxicated and excessive drinking. Binge drinking leads to diabetes, poisoning, high blood pressure and issues with brain development. At the end of their presentation people asked why did they do their paper on underage drinking when it is against the law. They responded that even though it is against the law, people under the age of 21 still drink and still have access to alcohol. They were not really trying to prevent underage people from drinking, they were just trying to inform people what can happen because of it.
