according to all the data out there today, no. seems kids now just don't behave similar to us at all

The prevalence of binge drinking (defined as consuming five or more drinks in a row at least once during the past two weeks) is almost non-existent among 8th, and 10th graders, and less than one in ten 12th graders reporting engaging in this harmful behavior.

yeah, I understand that is way down. I just meant this idea of a 15-y/o drinking 1-2 beers at a go.
