IS YOUR TEEN DRINKING?
Even sporadic binge drinking may cause permanent brain damage in teens. Here, according to Chris Volkmann and experts, are clues to alcohol abuse:
1 Chewing gum or eating candy to mask alcohol breath
2 Borrowing more and more money
3 Persisting with drunken escapades, even after being caught
4 Being secretive about plans
5 Going to friends' houses instead of inviting kids home
6 Quitting teams or activities
