"We've been looking a lot into European groups for wearable tech," says Paolo Bonato, a professor at Harvard Medical School and the director of the Motion Analysis Laboratory at Spaulding.

...adult brain. Adolescent rats show less vulnerability than adult rats to alcohol's sedating effects (which is one reason kids can party so much longer than adults). Other studies have found that, as White writes, "adolescents may be less sensitive than adults to the effects of alcohol on motor coordination." None of this means you should let your kids get drunk with their friends. But there's little reason to think small amounts of alcohol consumed at family meals will be as harmful...
