Nope...you've watched too much TV and seen too many movies...!

All that sort of stuff went on a few hundred miles south of Illinois...
where one could buy factory-made alcoholic beverages, thus eliminating
any neccessity for the "home-made" stuff!

All we did in the way of anti-social/illegal activity was (if you weren't
quite 21 and thus couldn't legally drink in beer joints)...was to get 
someone "of age" (often me...) to buy a case or two of cold beer, and
then set out on the (mostly blacktopped by then) "back roads" for our
under-age "road drinking!"

The odd thing is that a number of my schoolmates were killed in one-car
accidents on those back roads late at night...but we never made the
connection between our drinking style and our "deathstyle"...!
