We ate dinner together religiously--and that's not used entirely figuratively here. I didn't do drugs or smoke, and graduated from school in the top 10% of my class, but drinking and getting into trouble? I was the daughter from hell. I, however, had other issues that may have contributed to my behavior. My siblings in general are well-behaved and there are no smokers or drinkers that I know of, though I am out of the loop a bit.
Sissy and my oldest brother both graduated at or near the top of their classes, and neither one drinks or smokes that I know of.
This is probably indicative of a correlation in which two effects share a common cause. Eating dinner together probably indicates parents who are involved in their children's lives, and such parents are less likely to have children who drink, smoke, do drugs, or produce teen pregnancies. Two results from the same cause.
