This is all I heard about too.  It was like something to brag about, what you drank, who you drank with, how many drugs you took.  But TV is just one of the many factors of why kids drink more. I've been hearing a lot that kids are drinking more and more... is that true?  Or are parents just finding out about it now that it's becoming more okay to talk about it?

Isn't that stereotyping though?  In reality, we have the same body chemistry, the same gene makeup... Although some people may be more prone than others to addiction, but we have no way of knowing that.  So I think guys and girls should be equally responsible for becoming addicted to drugs/alcohol.
