@izzythepush,
When I was 16 I was making the rounds of the Welsh pubs, ecstatic, knowing I wouldn't be able to drink back in the USA until I was 21.
We were a hard drinking group of international students, especially the Scandinavians.
The bus driver would stop at the gates of the school and physically push all of us out of the bus where we'd stagger off to our dorms
.
It was a good experience for me for I got all that binging out of the way.
By the time I was 21 I'd become a responsible drinker...well, apart from a few benders.
