Host: Isn't teen drinking normal?

Judith Welles Cousins: Teen drinking and drug use is normal in a sense that it's normal for teenagers to, to want to know about alcohol, to want to know about drugs, to want to know what it tastes like, what it feels like, if they are using.

So there is a certain amount of experimentation and curiosity that goes along with being a teenager. 1
