Parent of a senior boy (and daughter of an alcoholic) — there’s no sneaking a beer. He smells and feels terrible after one or two! (He can’t understand how I can always tell.) I just want him to have fun without alcohol now so he knows how to do it. Every weekend he isn’t drinking alcohol feels like a win. There’s time after his brain finishes developing for it. Alcohol is a crutch. A fun one and worth the misery sometimes for sure, but some of us can’t drink well. I wish as a young person I had been able to have fun sober. Now as an older person I wish I could go out drinking and feel okay the next day. The sweet spot is your twenties.
