When high school students get together in droves, underage drinking is more likely to be a part of the mix, studies show. “Some of the statistics (presenters) showed, as far where are our kids are getting the alcohol and the drugs, it’s from parties, graduations, just sort of get-togethers of that nature,” said Cpl. Joe Britte, spokesman for the Gainesville Police Department. Britte was referencing statistics highlighted by Center Point at its March 28 presentation on underage drinking at Lanier Charter Career Academy.
