Patient's question:
I've noticed that my son has developed a new hobby lately, which is his fondness for drinking beer. Whenever he sees someone drinking, he insists on getting some poured for himself. I'm very worried that this might harm his brain. (My grandmother always says beer is fine, is that really true?)Doctor's answer:
The child's body systems have not yet fully developed, and frequent alcohol consumption is harmful to their health. It is recommended not to let the child drink beer often, and adults should also try not to drink in front of them. Drinking beer is actually a psychological addiction for the child; they also want to be able to drink beer like adults. You need to tell the child that children are not allowed to drink beer. Take it slow and don't hurry. Correcting any habit in a child requires patience and perseverance.
