s study and the issues it raises about the influence of alcohol on neuropsychological performance in adolescents are all just the tip of the iceberg," Goldman said. "Specifically, the question of the "reversibility" of these effects is huge. If we see deficits in a 50- or 60-year old, that's sad, but somehow less compelling than a 15- or 16-year-old who has alcohol-induced brain deficits that will cause them problems over their entire life."
