I was told once I had a drinking problem.

I said “No I don’t! I drink, I get drunk and fall down. No problem.’’

Absolutely disgusting! Elicit drugs & driving! Pray tell how these teenagers got these drugs?

Probably the same way I got drugs when I was a teenager.

I purchased them.

“For a while it came as quite a surprise to many people that skunks had started driving cars.”
