My parents were young and liberal and knew I was going to drink anyway, so they let me do it at home.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But in my college years it got to the point where my friends and I didn't do anything without consuming a massive amount of alcohol before we went anywhere or did anything, and you know that.
I didn't even drink until I was in college. While other people were out partying, I'd be home watching the Tony Awards and Bob Fosse movies... I so badly wanted to be part of the club.
My parents were pretty liberal, but they were still parents. I definitely had my teenage rebellion.
The good news is that parents are the leading influence on kids' decision not to drink alcohol.
My parents pretty much realized that I would do whatever I wanted, and that was it, really.
My parents were liberal intellectuals but even they expected me to stay at home and look after my younger siblings and do the housework.
I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.
My parents must have done a great job. Anytime I wanted to pursue something that they weren't familiar with, that was not part of their lifestyle, they let me go ahead and do it.
I'm such a homebody. I don't party. I don't drink. That may be because I got it out all out of my system before I was 18.
I used to be a drinker but I found out how bad it was and I let it alone.
