Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Just overheard a co-worker say Imitrex. As I was getting water to take some of my own.

Migraines are weird. He has them, but his are so different from mine. No wonder treating them is so different. He gets visual interference so bad that he has to lie down.

I sort of find it refreshing that Haley Joel Osment was driving a 10 year old Saturn when he wrecked. Looks like he's going to be ok. He's growing into a cutiehead teenager.

Depends on why he crashed.

Good point. "Awake and talking" probably doesn't mean "not drunk or stoned".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I will say that being drunk at 1 in the morning at 18, even driving, isn't necessarily a sign of some big Problem. If HJO was drunk or whatever.

Underaged drunk driving isn't a Problem?

I doubt he was. If there was a hint of it, they would have said so. or said something like "police will not confirm if HJO was under the influence"

I think it's a bad thing to do, but not necessarily a sign of alcoholism. Teenagers are stupid.

I had a whole theory in college, that I think turned out to be right, that it was impossible to tell who had a real problem with alcohol, and who just had a situational drinking problem.

I didn't bring up alcoholism, though. I still think it's a Problem, both for the teen and the people around the incident.

Apparently teenagers are stupid, but millions of them manage to make it through without flipping their cars.

People are stupid, in my experience. Not just teenagers. Not even predominantly teenagers.

What about this report? Do you think there's no chance there?

it was impossible to tell who had a real problem with alcohol, and who just had a situational drinking problem.

Impossible for who? Medical professionals? Or laypeople?

Also, how are you defining a situational drinking problem--I'm assuming it rates lower on the grave scale, but why?
