[quote name='CaseyRyback']My parents are from New Jersey. Don't try and pin shit as a southern thing. I know that is what everyone from up north tries to do (your rejects are why I hate this place so much). It all has to do with raising kids who are responsible, know their limits, and have a strong moral compass.[/QUOTE]
Actually, I was going to say it sounded like the Jersey Shore. I worked at an orthodontist office in NJ for 2 years and I saw more young teenagers that were drunk, hungover, stoned, and/or bulimic than were sober/mostly normal. Then again, most NYers don't think very highly of NJ to start with, but the numbers I saw were actually shocking. 14 is a bit young to be drinking beer IMO. I could see a glass of wine/beer on a special occasion, but pounding a beer or hard liquor is a little much.
