4. Because on New Year's, we got word that some of the
kids were planning to each get a bottle of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum, (why they like this, I have no idea), drink it and then if they couldn't find a place to sleep, they would sleep in the woods.

Mind you the temperature was about 30 degrees. So we had gotten wind of it and, I'm not stupid, I knew it was coming. I didn't drink when I was underaged, but the drinking age was 18, so it was no big deal. I taught high school in my twenties and was astonished at the amount of drinking.
