Don’t Mess Up the Art of Brain Development
Can you imagine if some of the greatest works of art had never been finished? In its weekly video, Catalyst says your brain is like a work of art. Like any work of art, your brain takes time to be completed; in fact, it’s still developing until age 25. Using alcohol during the teenage years stops development of your brain, and it will never become the great work of art it was meant to be.
