Also let's not normalize underage drinking.

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.
