I grew up in SC, in Columbia and what a mother fucker that place is. One of the hardest drinking towns I've ever been in. Full of the worst kind of frat culture, lawyers who wear bowties, and military people from fort jackson. Honestly feel like I'd have ended up in jail or drank myself to death if I'd stayed there. My advice is try to get out if you can. Team up with a friend or two and move to a decent sized city.
