Re: Binge drinkers are young & stupid ....
said by amungus  :I think it has more to do with a sense of freedom. Younger people likely enjoy their freedoms, to drink, smoke, and use their phone wherever they want. Who cares. Really. As in a sense of freedom from what?, like responsibility perchance. My former SO had two (supposedly) adult children on her billing plan. She was constantly bickering with them for running over voice and data minutes, as well as trying to get them cough up the $$$ they owed her.
I would care except for the hope that I'll be worm food when their bill (in the larger sense) comes due.
Yup, freedom's grand as long as someone else picks up the tab. 
Or to borrow a phrase from Maggie...
"Socialism is fine until you run out of other people's money."
