Considerably less. If they are drinking alcohol then that means they’re actually socializing which does not exist anymore.
Yeah my 16 drinks some (never gets drunk) but I don’t frick with him about it because at least he’s got a big group of friends he likes to hang out with.

Kids are doing everything later. Driving, moving out, getting married, kids etc. it’s kind of been going in this trajectory for a while. I’m sure you can remember your grand parents asking you why you aren’t married or have kids at 18. So data will be skewed a couple years.

We guzzled in the 80s. Remember, we could legally buy it at 18 and hardly any store carded so 16 was a customary age to buy booze back then.
This.
I got passed out drunk more before I was 21 then I ever did after. And I still drink a lot, AAA is for quitters, just can hold my liquor better and do it at home mostly now.

Growing up in Shreveport, once you enter Sophomore yr of High School and people can drive, that's when drinking at house parties starts. I think every single weekend of high school from beginning of Sophomore, Junior and Senior year, there was a house party every weekend. Would usually put down like 7 or 8. This was 2008-11.
When I told my Texas friends about this, they were dumbfounded. They did no drinking at all in high school or have parties like that. Maybe just different culture.

I think a few reasons for this. One is that people live longer, so have more time, but 2nd I think world is more competitive today. Anyone with a swinging leg can go to college and major in engineering or whatever. Stuff like ACT prep in 1980 was reserved for private tutors and rich kids. Today, you can go to Magoosh.com and spend $99 for a full prep. I did this and it raised my score. More college grads means more competition for good jobs. No good job means maybe at parents house.

The italian liquor stores in S'port area just charged you a little more if you looked underage.
True story. We all had fake ID’s at 15 and they never batted an eye. The ID looked like something out of a comic book.

The amount of kids I see od’ing on fentanyl in our hallways would conflict that.

My anecdotal experience is that kids these days are way more well behaved and responsible than I was
Had a HS party for my son last night. I can tell you this. They were very responsible when it came to drinking and securing a ride home. Which was my biggest concern. Amazing how many parents showed up to my house between midnight and 2 am.
On the flip side, these kids have no common sense. Replacing a roll of toilet paper….not done. Kick over a can on the ground….keep walking.
Almost all were very polite though. When I made any of my many “walks through” the party, most of the kids said hi, or came to shake my hand.
