We ate together nearly every night until I got into high school, when school activities (studying, basketball, etc) would interefere. Even then, we usually ate together 3-4 times a week. My brother had behavioral problems in high school, and my sister ran away and shoplifted. I don't honestly know if either did drugs or drank, because we didn't talk about that stuff. Both became drug users and drinkers as soon as they moved out of the house. I don't think eating together really did anything for my family.
