53. Well, I was twelve at the time, but probably.

I was always hanging out with people older than I was... probably due to being bored with kids my own age.

(Yeah, I started partying kind of early. I quit bourbon when I was 16 because one afternoon I went to a Jr. class party and drank an entire bottle of Jack Black and then drove home and sat with my mother while she was getting ready to go to work at 11 pm. And, as I sat there, I realized something... I was stone sober. I had finished a bottle of bourbon like four-five hours before, and I was sitting there realizing that I felt nothing from it.

That was the day I stopped drinking bourbon.)
