I only knew once by personal experience. I was in high school and was having dinner at a friend's house, and his mother served everybody a glass of wine with the meal. I was also provided with a glass of water, so I ate my food and only drank the water. I felt rather uneasy. I didn't want to seem to be refusing their hospitality, but I knew that drinking wine was forbidden at my age. I didn't say anything to her, and she didn't say anything about my not drinking the wine. I thought it best not to mention the matter to my parents.

Around the same time my mother once went ballistic at the residence of one of my brother's friends when she arrive to pick him up to take him home one night when he was 15 and saw that his friend, who was 16, was drinking beer. The father of my brother's friend said he was perfectly aware of it and didn't understand why my mother was making such a big deal of it. My brother didn't get into any trouble, because he hadn't had any beer himself (as far as we know), but he was forbidden to visit his friend at his house again for a long time after that. My mother didn't go as far as to try to involve the police.

I knew a lot of this went on by anecdotal evidence. I knew one student in high school who had been suspended for having been drunk at school. There was a photograph in our high school yearbook that had been partly censored. The students in the photograph were gathered for a party, and one of them had been holding something in his hand, and this had been obscured in the photograph. I suspect it was a beer can.

The most extreme example of underage drinking of which I heard in my youth was an account by one of my neighborhood friends whose family were Canadian immigrants. He was the same boy who had tried to introduce me to chewing tobacco. He said that his family had had a New Year's Eve party when he was only four years old at which he had been served alcohol and had become drunk.
