For being so smart, you guys are really easily talked into things by a bunch of self-righteous adults who probably did 10X worse things in their high school years and are now trying to feel better about it by guilting you for having fun.

...and you officially have no credibility. Alcohol is undeniably a drug.
The federal government's definition of a drug:
a. any substance recognized in the official pharmacopoeia or formulary of the nation.
b. any substance intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in humans or other animals.
c. any article, other than food, intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of humans or other animals.
d. any substance intended for use as a component of such a drug, but not a device or a part of a device.
Note definition c. Alcohol is dead ringer for that description, not to mention the fact that it is commonly accepted as the most abused DRUG in the United States.
If it is true that "self-righteous adults" are trying to guilt America's youth for having a tenth of the fun that they had, then nearly every adult in America would have to be a part of this conspiracy. You know what is several magnitudes more probable than a massive generational conspiracy? The possibility that alcohol is actually bad for you.
You are either really bad at defending your own drinking habit or a really bad forum troll. Good job.
