[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public school in a non-elite area.  Or maybe Catholic school.  [/quote]

Are you kidding?  There is more drinking among the Catholics than anywhere else.[/quote]

I was going to say the same thing!  There is plenty of drinking and drugs at Catholic schools.  At least as much as non-Catholic schools.

I agree that all-girls schools tend to have less of a drug and alcohol culture than co-ed.  [/quote]

Drinking? Yes (most of those Catholics are Irish)  Drugs? Not so much.[/quote]

the comments about Irish drinking and Catholic drinking -- I can't believe people still think this way.  let alone TALK this way.  that type of comment was pretty typical long ago -- but are we still trafficking in ethnic and religious stereotypes?  can't wait to hear your gross generalizations about other ethnic and religious groups -- how about Jews?  Italians?  Polish?   or is it only okay to make fun of some religions and not others?  some ethnic groups and not others?

i'm not suggesting that there's less drinking at Catholic schools than at other schools.  but it's pretty outrageous to say, "well, we all know how Catholics are."  or "well, we all know that the Irish all drink."  wow.  in 2013?[/quote]
