Hard to say. He doesn't recall much about his past,
and some of his crueler classmates may have implanted
memories in his head (by repeated suggestion) - they
have apparently claimed that he has gotten drunk (which
he can't remember) and that he has gotten laid (which
he denies remembering). But from his testimony, this was
the first verified alcohol that he's had a substantial
amount of; as far as the latter goes, he claims to be
a virgin; what's apparently the case is that he's never
been on a date, and what's clear is that he's never been
on a second date. Not my problem.

Works for some; it's the groundwork for alcoholism for
some others, though.

If it's an impulse, there's nothing that can be done. If
his mind tends in that direction, that has to be dealt
with, probably by the psychiatrist. Short of giving him
a 24/7 escort, there's not much to do anyway.

 RH> A good way to get IDs into the hands of those who shouldn't have them!

Really defeats the purpose, doesn't it. But they don't
care.
 
 RH> Are you sure it didn't get lost at the house?
 ML> Anything's a possibility in that house.
 RH> Going to try digging or let it try to surface on its own?

No point. I have plenty of ID, and this one is useless
except to a potential identity thief, and if it's in the
house who cares, and if it's not, what can anyone do?

 RH> I'm going to have to try this sometime. Right now the only ingredient

Actually, kielbasa would make a perfectly fine substitute
as well.
