Disclaimer: I would just like to say that I do not advocate underage drinking; however, if you believe that it doesn’t happen then you are only lying to yourself. Besides, if you’re from any country besides the US, then you probably don’t consider the age of 18 to be a candidate for underage drinking. Hell, in Denmark you can start drinking at the age of 16.

Prolegomenon
I’d like to acknowledge something that seems to confuse some of my readers. Whenever you encounter four stars centered on their own line like this:
****
The book is going into a dream sequence or memory or a dream sequence that is a memory. I’m not a fan of completely linear storylines so I use with this format because it allows me to explain the background and character history without dumping all of the information at the beginning and skipping forward by years in time. You will also notice that there is a shift in narrative from present to past tense for these situations.
When the memory or dream ends and the book returns to the main story, you will see the four centered stars again and the narrative switches back to present tense.
You will also sometimes see centered ellipses like so:
…
This is to indicate a skip in time, usually in between chapters, or to skip mundane events.
Now that the explanations are out of the way, on to the story.
