Questionable study links early alcohol use to R-rated movies

The guy who posted the article pretty much said it all.
Here's my explanation: Parents who don’t let their children watch R-rated movies are as a rule, generally pretty strict parents. This in turn means its likely they enforce other strict behaviors on their children, early curfews, no attendance at unsupervised parties and things like that. Contrastingly, a parent who doesn’t care if their twelve year old is watching LAST HOUSE OF THE LEFT may not care as much about other preventative measures that protect their child against the “evils” of alcohol, drugs and sex.
 
That makes sense Max, but the study sounds as if they make a direct link to alcohol when its obvious that it isn't.
 
Not that an objection is required for this silly article but the very first movie I watched was The Terminator when I was 5. When I used to go the rental store, my dad would have me pick the movie because I had a talent at finding the most violent action movies at the movie rental store. Furthermore, I've watched almost every Freddy and Jason movie before I turned 17, not to mention almost every B horror movie that could be found.

BTW, I don't drink. Neither do any of my siblings who watched them with me.
 
Seeing R-rated movies underage and drinking underage are part of the same rebellious behavior that most children have when they are told they cannot do something or their desire to just take part in adult behavior.
 
That must be why I'm an alcoholic. It's all Jason Voorhees' fault, now that I think of it's probably why I'm a tittyholic too.
