When I was 16 me and my friends would go through a half gallon of Jim Beam and as much beer as we could afford, usually a case sometimes two, a weekend without fail. That was during the school year. The summers I really don't remember. There wasn't ever more than 10 of us and a few didn't drink. We had drivers so we were able to get as smashed as possible. A few years of that and I had to say enough is enough.
