“All through HS I never did pot of alcohol. I suffered from a case of “fear of dad.” I’m now almost 52 and have still never tried pot. I didn’t drink alcohol until I was 20.”

Similar situation for me. I didn’t have a ‘fear of Dad’ so much as I really, really did not want to disappoint him. I was one of the very few who didn’t use drugs.
As a result, I had to woo my women the old fashioned way - with good looks and charm. And playing football - football always seems to help.
In Texas HS football is a lifestyle. I quit playing after 10th grade and got a job. I preferred to have money to go do things. My parents were old fashioned and said if I wanted “luxury” things I had to earn them.
