Phase 1. Recreational Use≫
Rishi first used alcohol at 14 years old when older boys in his neighbourhood offered him a drink: “‘We will have alcohol. Will you have?’ I thought let’s try how this feels.” Looking back, Rishi realised how interested he had always been about things that could potentially cause harm: “I’m curious about the negative things. If I look at it, I’m not too curious with good things. If some boy can study more, I’m not curious about how he does it.”
