Does Age Affect Alcohol and Heroin Addiction?
Question by levin j: Does age affect alcohol and heroin addiction?

Answer by lourdes r
Yes, age does matter when it comes to getting addicted to drugs and alcohol. Contrary to what you indicated, though, teenagers are more likely to become dependent on drugs and alcohol, rather than middle-aged individuals. This is because teenagers are still undergoing developments in their brain, and alcohol and heroin can impede growth, causing long-term and even permanent damages. According to a research ran by the National Institute on Alcohol Use and Abuse, those who start drinking before even reaching the age of 15 are actually four times more prone to developing alcoholism than those who start drinking at age 21.
