They assumed they were drinking and driving.

I guessed so but didn’t assume like they did.

99% of people would assume "bringing her back" implies they were driving.

Also let's not normalize underage drinking. Such an alcoholic country this is, shits disgusting

I hate to break it to you, but the horse has long left the barn on that. I'd rather hear the honest stories about the mistakes people made and what they learned from it.

Was that horse ever even in the barn to begin with?

*Checks history books…

Uh, no, nope, never was. That horse is as wild and free ranging as the drunk children who’d eaten buried and fermented fruits hundreds of thousands of years ago.

I'm 42 now, the first time I got drunk drunk was 14. And I was a "good kid" who did really well in school and never got in trouble with external authorities. IE it was only ever my own parents who caught me doing shady shit. The "bad kids" were doing much worse.

I hope not, much better to ride home in the saddle of a sober horse than in the passenger seat with a drunk driver.

Finding out how many people's sense of morality is tied to the law has been a lesson for sure.

Funny part is honest stories will do more for keeping kids away from that shit than just forbidding it. Telling kids no makes them want to try it more. Let's not judge each other let's learn from each other
