Why shouldn't it impact their higher cognitive functions to that degree? There's enough research out there to show that kids' ability to make good choices IS still incomplete, at a brain level. Add in alcohol and how much worse will that be?

Not saying there shouldn't be consequences but when in the learning part of life there has to be some consideration given to the fact that the brain isn't even fully developed yet at that age.
