Nowadays, kids would just be on their phones for five hours, but back then, there was nothing to do.

So we grew up drinking.

My mom was not a drinker, but she kept this boxed wine in the fridge.

I mean, we would drink boxed wine at 10 in my mom's house.

By 13, they were getting drunk all the time.

We just sat on my floor, got hammered, walked around at the park.

That's what we did, like, all the time growing up, from a very young age.

Binge drinking every weekend.

That was our culture.

And we thought Saskia was lucky because her parents would go away, the older siblings would be in charge, and there would be parties all the time.

So we partied at Sasa's house a lot.

By the way, Saskia's friends and family often call her Sauce.

You'll hear both names throughout the season.

Sauce has always struggled with anxiety and depression.

And when she was a kid, she learned that drinking could be an escape.

Since I had been introduced to it at such a young age, it was the thing that I knew that helped me.

It helped me cope with a lot of things that I hadn't dealt with yet, like stuff from my childhood.

And it still stayed my coping mechanism for a long time.

As the friends entered high school, then college, drinking became their main activity.
