Cigarettes and a cigar chalk up to youthful experimentation? Ibuprofin is really just aspirin? Was this prescription aspirin, like with codeine? (I won't lecture you on the dangers of taking someone else's prescription) Nor will I lecture on the dangers of drinking and driving, and hopefully you have had more sense than that.

Sit down with your parents and talk to them. Be as honest as you think you can be.

I would find out why your parents were snooping in your room, did they suspect something? or was it just a fishing expedition, doing so without being accusatory, it's their house, so your right to privacy really doesn't hold water, if you've given them a reason to suspect anything.

If they believed you to be a good kid, show them that you still are, be a man and own up to what you did. Experimentation at your age is normal, it's also normal for your parents to care about what you are doing. Lying to them only makes them worry. Don't go with the "all my friends are doing it" excuse, just explain to them what you did and if you know why you did it.
