Puberty development and alcohol consumption

Luiz Antonio Del Ciampo

Abstract

Adolescence is a period of great physical, emotional and social changes and that predisposes the individual to many external interferences that can interfere with their full development. At this stage of life, due to specific characteristics of their emotional development, adolescents tend to seekimg new experiences associated with the consumption of harmful substances, including alcohol. This article presents some characteristics of the process of pubertal development and the consequences of alcohol consumption during this phase of life, highlighting the interference in the synthesis and release of hormones of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis.

Keywords
