re: I think maybe the kids are going to be all right

Actually, a number of states in the southeast are in the top 10 of most sober.
From the earlier link.

"In contrast, the states where the lowest amounts of alcohol are consumed annually, starting with the lowest, are:

Utah: 1.35 gallons per person
West Virginia: 1.74 gallons per person
Arkansas: 1.78 gallons per person
Oklahoma: 1.85 gallons per person
Georgia: 1.90 gallons per person
Kansas: 1.92 gallons per person
Kentucky: 1.95 gallons per person
Alabama: 1.99 gallons per person
Ohio: 2.03 gallons per person
Maryland: 2.08 gallons per person"

A stat came out that 40% of high school graduates this year have never tried alcohol. Which isn’t a sign that high school kids are being more careful, it’s a sign that high school kids don’t know how to have fun and socialize.

My kids were working dat 60% fun like an art form.

Kidding. Sad state of affairs. Glad to hear what makes us human is making a come back. Pity this is even a thing.
