Reply to comment by Maninhartsford in Review: That 90's Show by DeviousOne420

I do agree but I don’t think it’s usually a nice group of kids like that more so a group of delinquents, kids who are getting in real trouble at school. My brother and his friends did drink at 15 or 16 but they were all also thrown out of high school because of other bad shit they pulled. Two friends of mine also started at 16, both alcoholics currently and one also a drug addict so it just doesn’t feel right. Plus in that 70s show drinking was way more common with young people back then especially with guys like Hyde around.

Counterpoint: My friends and I drank at that age, all got good grades and are now fully functioning members of society. Can't speak to the 90s specifically as I was a teenager in the 2000s, but your personal antecedents are hardly a hard and fast rule.

​

EDIT: Looked it up and between the years 1991 - 1993 the median age for teenagers to start drinking was 13.65 years, so a 14 - 15 year old drinking is right in line.

I’m just kinda saying to me it’s pretty mind blowing my peers would have been doing that while we were that young but I consider it fortunate I wasn’t around people like that back then to have known because damn that’s sad.

You should, because parents who allowed their kids to drink and party and all of that other stuff aren't real parents.
