I honestly didn't go to a bar until I was 20 (with the chalked license) and even then, it was only a couple times until I turned 21. We were extremely fond of drinking in the fields/woods, under a bridge, the playground, and occasionally someone's basement when their parents weren't home or allowed it...
Which does remind me that, the summer after I graduated from High School, there were Graduation Parties every Fri, Sat, and Sun thru August, because everyone wanted to have everyone else at their keg party
EDIT: This also started my weight gain, because you can go from 135 to 185 really quick spending a summer drinking beer & eating roast beef sandwiches
