I had a bottle of glue once back in 4th grade that I thought had the funniest smell. I don't recall where I had gotten it from, but it smelled like old dirty gym socks and I thought it was soooo funny. The teachers freaked out thinking that I was becoming some kind of dope head. Come on!!!
In France, people can legally drink when theyâre 18. Japan says 20 is the right age. In Wisconsin, anyone can drink at any age, as long as theyâre with their parents or of-age spouses. But whichever cutoff point seems right to you, one thing is clear: Nobody aged 18 to 21 should drink all types of alcohol.
The median age of initiation of drinking alcohol has increased slightly from 13.65 years in 1991â1993 to 14.35 years in 2009â2011 (NSDUH). In addition, there has been a gradual decline in the proportion of youth reporting initiating drinking at age 12 years or younger (NSDUH, YRBS).
