My daughter has a under-active thyroid, the condition she has is called hashimoto’s Disease. She is 17yrs old and her bone age is of a 12yr old. I found out she has been drinking alcohol when going out with her friends. Since her growth is already a problem with her thyroid almost non existent and will be gone in time, and trying to getting her growth development up to where she should be. I wanted to know how alcohol would affect someone with thyroid problems?
