<p>Are you referring to this: " In September, in Scarsdale, up to 200 students arrived drunk at the homecoming dance. Several were taken to the hospital." ?

<p>That is a very extreme situation, you know. I don’t think it’s representative of the majority of the high school population. Now, that doesn’t leave the majority with much better drinking habits. I find teenage drinking (except in extreme moderation) to be downright revolting. I don’t drink at all yet, but I can understand why someone might. I simply cannot fathom the quantities of alcohol other students at my school drink (and yes, I know literally how much). It’s not alcoholism that scares me most, it’s binge drinking.</p>
