Your teenage years sound like mine in the 1970’s.
I left out smoking pot, riding dirt bikes, drinking cheap beer around a camp fire and generally trying/doing almost anything we could think of.
Including hold my beer.
The other thing was that my neighborhood growing up in the suburbs of Buffalo was full of kids. EVERY family had at least three kids. Most of us were Catholics. So, we could have pickup baseball, football, etc and always have 4-6 on each team.
