Butterflies drift in dreams so bright.

Moon and stars watch while we sleep,

Wishes, love, and rainbows keep.

+ reflection on the process

What is the legal drinking age
in the UK?

What is a common argument in favour of allowing minors to drink small amounts at home under parent supervision?

1. It helps them develop alcohol tolerance
2. It teaches them responsible drinking in a safe environment
3. It prevents them from ever drinking outside the home
4. It is required by schools in some countries

Which of the following are health risks associated with underage drinking?

1. Slower brain development
2. Increased risk of alcohol dependency later in life
3. Higher likelihood of engaging in risky behaviour
4. Impaired memory and concentration

At approximately what age is the human brain fully developed and no longer as vulnerable to the effects of alcohol?

1. 16
2. 18
3. 21
4. 25

While brain development varies slightly from person to person, the scientific consensus is that the brain — particularly the prefrontal cortex (which handles decision-making, impulse control, and reasoning) — 

is not fully developed until around age 25.
