From all accounts by her friends, she did not seem in any trouble or unhappy when she left C & C., and in fact, was smiling and waving from the car she left in.
All of her friends interviewed on TV (not surprisingly), said they were all "drinking responsibly." THAT I find hard to swallow.
Teens that age stay up all night routinely. Her friends were up till 5 AM sitting around the hotel pool. It isn't particularly strange.
The partying I can understand...the 'drinking responsibly' bit...I ain't buying into that. Just a couple of drinks at the end of a vacation & what I would assume to be relatively inexperienced drinkers, would probably be enough to put 3/4's of them under the table.
I think the drinking age in Alabama is 18 like most of the country....
so how can an 18 yro drink "responsibly" if they have legally never drank before?.....
I don't want to quibble with the students that went....we were all young once...we know what's it like....not once of us could say honestly that we drank "responsibly" at 18.....
