Teenagers and young adults are programmed to charge forward into life and not look around themselves so much. Their brains are going through a major upgrade at this time in their lives, but the brain's accelerator develops faster than its braking system.
When adults drink, they tend to be disinhibited and impulsive, prioritising the moment over the future. But teenagers are like this even when they're sober, so when you add alcohol to the mix, life can get very messy for them.
