Ever wondered what teenagers really think about alcohol and addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff sits down with a 16-year-old skateboarder and coffee enthusiast to get the lowdown straight from the source. They dive into the lessons young people are absorbing about emotions, alcohol, and habit-forming behaviors. What do they see when adults drink? How are they deciding whether or not to follow suit?

The conversation covers how teens find genuine, lasting fun without turning to drugs or alcohol and even offers some surprising advice for adults. You'll also hear personal stories about their experiences with alcohol and caffeine, thoughts on success and education, and the power of saying yes to new opportunities.
This episode offers a fresh and engaging perspective on alcohol and addiction from a teenage viewpoint, providing valuable insights for parents, educators, and anyone interested in understanding youth attitudes towards these critical issues.
