Hi Savior, I am 56 years old and still remember vividly the first time I got drunk. I stumbled by a restaurant and right in front of the windows, in full view of patrons eating their dinner, I sat down on the sidewalk and puked my guts out.

I thought I had the best time and couldn't wait to do it again.

I was 14 years old.

So I don't think this conversation can come too soon.
