added risk for a range of externalizing behavior problems in addition to alcohol dependence. Although a definite causal relation in humans has yet to be established, rodent models of adolescent ethanol exposure (Crews et al., 2000; Spear, 2000; Swartzwelder, Wilson, & Tayyeb, 1995) demonstrate that adolescence appears to be a time of heightened sensitivity to persistent neurologic damage as well as priming enhanced sensitivity for some alcohol effects and tolerance for others.
