That being said, this horse is out of the barn.

Yeah, but you and I were the rare exceptions. I think I drank less than 5 times before I was 19 or 20. I then went through several years where I drank plenty (still probably less than the 20-25yo norm). Now I drink rarely. Again, I'm the odd-man-out.
