[quote="Tripper"]I read this in TIME Magazine, I'm telling the honest-to-god truth here, it said that 90% of teenagers that drink in college and high school excessively, leave their drinking habits behind as they move on through life.

That's the way it was for me when I hit college. Now I am a very light
drinker. Now I usually only drink a few beers occaisionaly at
social gatherings. The good news is that my tolerance has
decreased a lot. I am now a cheap drunk. biggrin:
One point that needs to be made, some people have
a genetic pre-disposition to becoming alcoholics. For those people
it is dangerous to start the binge drinking pattern.
