84% of students say they do not go to parties where alcohol is served and 84% say their parents never let them drink alcohol.

Not sure what to make of this , but apparently the huge house party last week  that was broken up by Police from Ridgewood , Fair Lawn and Paramus  was a one off unusual circumstance ?
Is de-nile more than a river in Eqypt? Or are our kids just way more responsible than we were ?
