Vinegar Years- Chapter 1

He graduated from high school in June 1975, age 17. President Nixon lowered the legal drinking age to 18 in 1973. In December 1975 he could legally buy alcohol and he did. He found drinking beer dulled his rage. He followed in his father's footprints. He drank in his local bar nightly and stumbled home each night, but went to work every morning, albeit hungover. One night he came home drunk and his father ripped him a new ass. The father told him to move out. The end of June 1976 he packed his clothes and left. He ventured out on his own completely ignorant of the hard world he entered.
