Pretty sure you'd have seen a shit show for anyone who chose not to sign. Especially in like 5th grade when you got this stuff. Most 10 years olds are scared shitless by cops.

So funny story about that, because I decided I hated going to school I went to an "alternate" high school that was also where kids who were kicked out of traditional school went.

They'd be like "you get this candy bar if you pledge not to do drugs or drink underage!" And some teens would straight up say "nah I'm good" and I just appreciate the honesty of those kids.

Meh, seems to be both. Don't get me wrong, alcohol is way worse overall. But in my experience the biggest gateway drug to harder stuff is music festivals and learned household behavior from kids in shitty situations.
