Some Parents Are LAX About Alcohol When Teens Hit Puberty Early Parents of teens who go through puberty early may be more lenient when it comes to letting them drink alcohol, according to a new study.
The study in Child Development aimed to discover why adolescents who go through puberty early are more likely than their peers to drink alcohol. “A surprising proportion of parents in our study allowed their early-developing children to drink alcohol at the age of 14 in fact, one in seven,” says Rebecca Bucci, a doctoral candidate in criminology at Penn State University. ....
But even if adolescents appear more mature, drinking alcohol is still not safe for them, researchers say.

E-Mail Research shows that children who experience puberty earlier than their peers are more likely to begin drinking alcohol at a young age and early alcohol exposure is also known to be related to alcohol dependence later in life. Specifically, adolescents who mature early are two to three times more likely to drink than other youth. In addition, early maturing girls are two to three times more likely to drink until intoxication and three times as likely to have an alcohol use disorder. A new study examined why early developing 14-year-old adolescents are more likely to drink alcohol compared to those whose pubertal development is on-time or late. The findings show these adolescents are more likely to have peers who drink alcohol and are also given greater permission to drink by their parents. ....
E-Mail UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. Parents of teens who went through puberty early may be more lenient when it comes to letting them consume alcohol, according to a new Penn State study. But the researchers said that even if adolescents appear more mature, drinking alcohol is still not safe for them.
