It's not too surprising that Motorcycle Boy doesn't drink—or do drugs, for that matter—being as how his old man's such a degenerate alcoholic. But more than that, he's a natural leader, a charismatic guy who just oozes rebellious cool. And as a leader, Motorcycle Boy wants to stay in control. That's why he doesn't drink alcohol. He only has to look at his father to see the damage that booze can do, how it means that you're no longer in control of your own life, let alone anyone else's. Motorcycle Boy takes after his mother in that he sees the world differently from most people. As well as being a non-conformist in adult society, he also rebels against the conventions of teenage sub-culture, which revolves around the excessive consumption of alcohol.
