Alcohol affects many parts of your brain by supplying it ethanol through the bloodstream. Initially only affecting glial cells, alcohol abuse can easily lead to poisoning parts of your brain, especially for someone of a smaller size (which most 14 year olds are).
Be careful what you drink. Wow, I sound like an old man.
Sensations of your head spinning can also be caused by other things. Loss of blood, traumatic injury, blood rush (standing too fast from certain posi<b></b>tions), or impact can all cause your brain to become temporarily "out of focus."
