I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. It’s a miracle that my generation made it out alive. Today’s generation would be flabbergasted at some of the shite that we used to do.

I was born in 1965. In 1979 I had a full beard and was 6 foot tall and weighed 210 pounds. I drove anywhere I wanted, went in about any bar I wanted and definitely could but alcohol anywhere...at 14 years of age. Not only could do all of that, did do all of that. I kept our middle school and high school supplied with cheap booze. It is amazing all of us did not develop a severe drinking problem, drug problem or both. As it was none of even my closest friends ever got a DUI. We were lucky as frick but we survived.

My son is 24 and can't understand why I do not drink Bourbon. I have explained to him that I drank so much bourbon as a child that I can barely tolerate it as an adult...he thinks I am joking but it is a fact....old grand dad, evan williams and when we had some money Jack Daniels was the elixir of our youth....
