My big bro was on the bus, and he was drinking some liquor from a small bottle...In short, I took a sip of it, and now I'm worried that it could have stunted my growth?

In reality, there is very little that can "stunt growth" other than severe malnutrition in childhood or the womb, and some accidents to the long bones of the legs during the growth phase. Don't worry, one sip of alcohol will not do much of anything, it is the consumption in large quantities that should cause you worry.

No, a sip, or even getting wasted one time isn't going to stunt your growth. Regular consumption of it will wear at your body and brain, but the human body is very resilient.
Watch out for sugar though, that stuff will damage your liver worse than alcohol. Drinking a soda is WAY worse for your body than drinking a beer. Crazy huh?

Why on earth would you think that? Liquor doesnt stunt your growth. It may kill some brain cells, but having a sip wont do anything to you.

a small sip of alcohol won't change any hormones in your body enough to stunt your growth. depending on your age, you may still have your epiphyseal plates open which allow for growth and only something like steroids or other hormone altering drugs could possibly close them early and stunt your growth.

not going to stunt your growth- but drinking alcohol is not good for you at all- please don't do it anymore until you are 21. Starting this early could cause you to start a really bad addiction.... that could ruin your life....
take care of yourself:)

TAKING A SIP OF LIQUOR ONCE IN AWAY DOES NOT DO ANY HARM.
REGULLAR DRINKING MORE THANTWO ,MAY BE OF SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
