highschoolers with drinking problems

there are a few freshman (that's ages 14-15 folks) that have actual drinking problems.

I had a drinking problem when I was in high school, I thought Bud Ice was a fine quality ale.

Since when is drinking a problem?

I had a hard enough time getting up when I was 14 without a hangover.

Same here. I think I slept 13 hours a night and still was sleepy all day.

I don't think I slept more than 6 hours tops most school nights in HS. weekends were a different story. and I didn't drink at all really - it was 1000x easier for me to get w33d than it was to get booze.

I had no problem drinking in high school. I would usually sleep 6 hours at night and the first 2 hours of school or so. We drank a lot of Kingsbury.

I drank heavily through highschool until I started to do awful drunk things pretty consistently. Not a good drunk. Then I gave up on it (and on a lot of other fun things) pretty much all at once because I was on an existential quest! that lasted for three years or so. I have been thoroughly humbled, I've returned from where I came with a shy smile of defeat and the knowledge of nothing!

Now I drink occasionally again.

I got like 3 hours of sleep a night in high school--in bed by 2 or even later, and then I had to catch the bus at 6:00am (AFTER doing a paper route) so I must have woken up around 4:30. and my parents wondered why i slept until 2pm on saturdays if i could.

Lazy. I worked every other Saturday in high school.

a guys I've known since we were about 7 (and loathed incidentally) used to come to 3rd period chemistry (like 9:20) in my sophomore year smelling of Jack Daniels. He ended up getting kicked out of his parents house for a while. A bunch of other people I knew grewing up, and went to high school with ended up in rehab by around the sophomore or junior year. these were wealthy kids too, which I expect was a large part of the problem.

I was always tired in highschool. I never drank though or smoked pot, I hung out with stoners cos they were funny and stole stuff for me so I didn't have to buy things for lunch, that was nice. I hated highschool.
