       I agree that the biggest pressure is one's peers. They seem to push themselves to do `adult' things before their time.

       Alcohol in the home is a two-edged sword. I was allowed to try small quantities of beer, wine, spirits and liquers from early in my teens. I had the various impacts and alcohol levels explained to me.

       I had little desire to drink to be drunk at any time. I find it sad that so many of my teenage friends and neighbours equate being mindlessly drunk with having a good time. They seem to have a certain hoolowness in their personalities if they can't enjoy themselves without being `written off'.
