I don't drink much, only about a quarter of a bottle of brandy a day. The only problem, I'm still in middleschool. Before you say anything, I just wanted to know, if I keep it up will there be any long term effects?

An adult who drinks a 1/4 of a bottle of brandy per day would be considered an alchoholic. Just google it to find out the associated health problems. They could be compounded because of your age.

ok... first, lets determine how big is your bottle? my bottle of brandy is very small and i think that if you drank 1/4 bottle it would be an average size alcoholic drink glass (with ice). that's not going to kill you and you are not an alcoholic.... however, if you are drinking a larger amount than 1 glass per day, that's not good...
why are you drinking it? do you just like the taste of brandy or are you trying to get drunk?
a lot of studies have been done that link 1 drink/day of wine and beer to health benefits. however, i don't know about liquor.
in other countries, it is allowable for young people to drink. but in the US, it is illegal. do your parents know that you drink? maybe you should talk to them about why you want to drink it and what their thoughts are. if you are uncomfortable talking to them, there are people at school who you can talk to (like a guidance counselor or a substance abuse counselor).
but like i said before, if you are drinking 1 glass a day because you like it, you are not an alcoholic... but... you still shouldn't be drinking until your body and neurons have fully formed.

Alcohol is extremely damaging to a body that is still growing. it intereferes with a lot of body functions, especially brain developement.
1/4 bottle of brandy EVERY day shouldn't be happening for anyone.
It is only a matter of time that it will end up being a lot more, every day.
When you are legally allowed to drink, Drink only at parties, not every day....Like once a week , a couple of drinks

“a bottle” is very vague.
My friends and I usually get a 1.75 liter bottle, and between the 4 for us, we’re lucky if we get through half of it and are still able to stand.
Anyway, don’t really start drinking till you turn 18ish, cause before then, it’ll really **** up your growth.

What I'd like to know is who is buying this stuff for you? As for the effects....you will soon become an alcoholic, worthless bum. Who's parents should be locked up for life.

yes, liver failure, losing your job, financial failure, DUIs and pretty soon your body will change and tolerance will change and you'll need to drink more and are on a downward spiral to alcoholism

reminds me of the story about the boy who came home one day and told his mom that he had the biggest pecker in his class. She told him that was about right for a kid of 17.
