Youth who drink before the age of are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those who wait until they are 21 years old?

Yes. The human brain continues to develop and build new nerve connections until the early twenties. During that period it is easier for the changes that result in alcohol addiction to occur. Furthermore, drinking during the teen years can interfere with the developmental process in other ways, create cognitive and attention deficits, and possible learning difficulties.
