...Furthermore, spillover creates another problem. Younger brains are still developing and thus at higher risk from alcohol. Drinking from an early age can even inhibit the brain’s neurological defense against alcoholism.

Self-selection probably plays a role in that result, but it is better to spare high school freshmen from potential danger...

"The prognosis goes down based on the severity of the bleed, the number of blood vessels involved and the success of the surgery," Kenton says. About 30% of people who suffer strokes due to bleeding in the brain die within the first 10 to 14 days...
