>We all remember drinking and smoking as teens
Speak for yourself, worst thing I did in high school was play too many video games.

I never got into gaming or blow myself. I was much more intrigued with the tech of games than playing them, and it's been amazing to see it progress from Pong to what's out there now.
After all these years I wouldn't say hanging out with friends and drinking a few beers and puffing a few doobies is "worse" than gaming though. Not even a tiny bit worse.
I really can't even imagine a reason why anyone would think that unless we're talking about getting shitfaced drunk and/or stoned, but that's really not much different than someone who's been chugging Mountain Dew and gaming for 24 hours+, and I have seen gamers do that, a lot too, not just a few times.
At that point it's fair to say it's an addictive behavior that's unhealthy.
I also taught myself programming into the wee hours of the night.
It was a wild time alright
I guess I fall into that group, since I had a few sips, given to my by my parents.

So less than half.

Also less than half. I wonder how many tried it just once.
