Over-the-Counter to Over-the-Top: My Drug Diary
What I Took, What I Learned, and What Remains
Over-the-Top
Alcohol
I’ve tried all different types of drugs, but nothing is as scary to me as alcohol. Perhaps it’s because it’s culturally accepted, easily available, and the damage it causes often hides behind laughter and social rituals.
The first time I drank alcohol to the point of being drunk, I was around 13 years old. I had become friends with the skater kids and older kids, which meant I was around these substances quite young.
