...drunk. Not at bars, of course: everywhere in America you have to be 21 to drink there -- legally, that is -- and anyway it's not the hip thing to do. These days teenagers buy into keg parties at homes where parents have left town for the weekend, where dangerous chugalug games are played to get booze and beer flowing into their system faster. Or they hang out at impromptu, one-night-only underground clubs that youthful entrepreneurs have set up in abandoned factories or warehouses, with the same goal in mind...

An ex-reporter for U.P. and a magazine writer, Sack employs a racily frenetic style, e.g., using "chugalug" as a verb meaning to drink and "crackajack" as an adjective meaning excellent, and is often as determinedly elfin as Tchico, the dog ghost of Sark. In rating the 13 microcosmic spots he visited, Sack gives highest honors to San Marino, the mountaintop republic in Italy, and second place...
