I had no trouble getting alcohol and pot at 13. There were tons of places that sold to minors, and adults of questionable morality that would buy for kids for a cut of the purchase price. Kids would raid parents liquor cabinets. Older siblings would buy. But it’s not like most kids that age sit around drinking all day. You would occasionally happen into it and have a party with friends. My parents were present, but I just didn’t do it in front of them. That’s not that hard to figure out. I would “go to a friends house,” they would “go to my house,” and in reality we went to the lake and drank and smoked up. I don’t think this is a new phenomenon. We were doing it 35 years ago, and the oldsters I knew had done it too.
