Vigilante

I started drinking whiskey at 13, and chased it with beer. We'd sneak out at 2AM and run around being mischievous, then go to a friend's house and drink till around 5AM, then stumble home and sneak back in. I never got caught, but my grandfather (I lived with my grandparents) told me if he caught someone coming in the window, he would shoot them and ask questions later.

So I quit the window and waited for him to go to bed, then went out the front door
