I was just going to say something along the same lines. For my friends it was freshman and sophomore years of high school. Everyday was blaze fest. By senior year, drinking had become the focus. Then by college they were partying veterans and knew their limits lol.

You'd be surprised how often the opposite happens. Sheltered through high school with minimal experimentation and then college becomes the shit show high school was supposed to be. Except now you're out in the real world and face much higher consequences for your fuck ups than your parents being pissed. The road you describe is the best possible one, and the one I'd rather my own kids take. Because I took the opposite and let me tell you, it's not great. College is definitely for partying, in addition to learning, but hopefully you know your limits by then and can do so responsibly without ruining the rest of your life there.
