My point is, drinking was not deviation from the mean. It was "the mean". There was no real norm in following the law in that one. Like I said, adults would wink wink look away or directly give you alcohol. If you was not drinking at all, you was the weird one. Literally. The mean is shifting toward drinking less. But that does not say much about how many people are "weird".
