Yes, I am from the states. Underage drinking isn't really a big deal, everyone can do it and parents don't really care. Although it is illegal, its more like Europe where alcohol isn't that big of a deal. It was only in the last 25 years or so that the drinking age was moved to 21.
I think kid go right to drugs because its more dangerous and thrilling or something like that. Anyone can get alcohol here, but drugs thats the cool thing for young kids.
I was raised in a no drug or alcohol allowed household, but I would go to parties and see kids doing all sorts of stuff. The parents would be happy if it was only alcohol, most kids would be doing lines of coke or heroin. In fact during school, most kids were soo drugged out. Alcohol seems tame by comparison.
