(7,252 posts)I didn't drink at all in high school, and went to some parties in college but thankfully, it wasn't anything like what's being described here.
Of course I might have been the exception.
I went to Public Schools, both in high school and college.

(17,047 posts)I graduated high school in 1986. I remember my friends and my friends parents as having way more money than they did in the 70's... including mine.
Everything centered around wealth and privilege. Looking back it seems so silly and wasteful.
