While at a cook out with some friends, we all came to the conclusion that we may have gotten our friend’s 17 year old brother a little drunk. Not sloppy, throw uppy or any type of disgusting by product of drinking too much. Just a little drunk.
We figured it was better he do it with us, while both my friend and I kept a strong, watchful, ever so judgmental eye on him.
In order to test the theory of his drunkenness, we came up with the age old test. Stand on one leg, close your eyes, and touch your fingers to your nose.
What followed was 5 people standing up from the patio table and falling over in different directions while groping their face. 17 year old included.
The only person able to score a 100 on the test was Carla. She was like a professional ballet dancer surrounded by two legged dogs. It just wasn’t a contest.
Our kind, drunken host stood completely still, eyes wide with amazement and wonder. When Carla finished what appeared to him be the dance of gods, he said to her in the same way one might propose love and marriage, Carla…You are like…a wonderful swan…
She then took a bow, sat down, and finished her hot dog.

So what? Most 17 year olds drink. It’s not too big of a deal, unless he wanted to keep drinking to excess.

I din’t mean for that to come off as snappy, but kids are starting to drink at younger ages, and most people have had their first drink by that age. And many drink socially much more than older people from the same generation did.
