Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcoholic beverages are only allowed for persons 21 years and older. Experts say that before the age of 21 a young man's body is not prepared from the point of view of brain maturation and liver function to receive alcohol in the body. Unlike with an adult, the drink is metabolized in another way and can therefore cause distinct physical, cognitive and behavioral impairments.

The brain in formation is very susceptible to chemical stimuli that make it sensitive for the rest of the life and hence the chances of developing a dependency, so alcohol is only allowed for adults over 21 years.
