That is very true. Plus, I don't know how it is in Europe and in other places, but alcoholism, even in adults, happens a lot. I know a lot of people that either know someone who is or is becoming an alcoholic, or they themselves are or are becoming an alcoholic. It gets to the point where people also just don't SEE that their behavior is a problem, for some reason. Like, the friends of the kids at my school that drunk drag raced and died? That very weekend, his friends had a huge party and got drunk. I know, because I ran into a bunch of them at the movie theater and they tried to invite me.
So yeah, that's another problem I forgot about in that huge novel length reply I gave you (sorry about that, by the way xD) is that the parents are part of the problem. They sustain that 'alcohol is a huge deal' idea.
I think we should rule the world and bitch slap some sense into people. At least rule it for awhile, 'cause I don't think I'd want that stress level for all my life.
