can drinking alcohol affecet puberty cuz i kno 2 pll that drink alot and are somewhat underdeveloped

I don't think alcohol itself has a direct effect on puberty as far as stunting it
Its not something anybody should indulge heavily in though
Studies have proven that those who start heavy drinking in there early teens have a MUCH higher chance of becoming alcoholics later in life.

I would strongly suggest avoiding caffeine though
It doesn't "stunt" your growth but the caffeine absorbs allot of calcium as it passes through your body meaning that growing pains HURT ALLOT, I learned that the hard way.

Whisper knows his stuff.

I just have one thing to add. Binge drinking can prevent the formation of some sex steroids involved in growth. Excessive alcohol consumption is one of those "fuck you up in a lot of ways" sort of things, like extreme sleep deprivation, dehydration, etc.

But even if alcohol doesn't stunt your growth, too much can kill your liver. I'm not being preachy. Liver disease is a lot worse than delayed development.

i could not find enough evidence around that states alcohol causes growth deficiences, there may be some effect on puberty but not directly related to how much you drink.
as much as i know, it destroys brain cells, liver etc etc... but who am i kidding i drink enough myself, but its helps to do so in moderation .. and you also avoid the crappy hangovers :)

I wouldn't say it would effect puberty/growth in any way or manner. And those two people who are underdeveloped aren't victims (?) of alcohol but the smaller you are i believe the heavier alcohol would effect you? i'm not entirely sure, but just sticking to the basic point, it shouldn't effect your growth at all.

[whoknows]

I don't think it has any direct effect.

It will not delay or diminish physical puberty, however during puberty your brain is developing immensely and it DOES have an effect on that growth.
