It's usually the other way around. It's usually reckless today (read: young and stupid), responsible tomorrow (read: older and wiser). Yeah, sure, I know a few high school people that can drink responsibly, but those are rare. But I know a fair share of adults that can drink with no problem (cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, friends, coworkers, etc, etc, etc).

I'd even go so far as to say that most people don't start out drinking responsibly. But as they get older, they become much more responsible. I can honestly say that I'm one of the few people I know that didn't drink through high school, yet I still got hammered on the weekends after I turned 21. I got wasted off my ass, but I was still smart enough to not go driving anywhere or be on 2nd story balconies. And as I got older, and had more responsibilities, I became a more responsible drinker.

Hmm more anecdotal evidence :) That group they have oh whats it called oh yeah AA, that has nothing to do with adults and its member population is truly tiny, probably only a couple hundred :p
