Well, most of the above is accurate, but I have known a few alcoholic
Jews.  We are, after all, the only religion to include 4 glasses of
wine (officially) in a service.  Read your Hagadah.  Each time it says
fill the cup again, implying that the last time you drained it.

As for drugs, it was with my friends from my high school Jewish youth
group that I got stoned as a teenager.  As to 100% literacy, I would
imagine that's not quite right either.  Until recently, women were not
educated, just men.

Reminds me of the old joke, "When do Jews believe that live begins? 
Right after Medical School (or Law School depending on who is telling
the joke).
