Aside from the fact that your characters wouldn't have resonated with me in the way that they did unless you had made them honestly human, you can't censor yourself. Changing what you write to please other people seems to be the first step toward hating what you do, and we all want you to keep loving writing so we can read more of your work!

Not that I am saying that the occasional drinking session is morally wrong, or making out in a car for that matter. People are people and if we try to stop others from experiencing something for themselves then we risk a major rebellion as seen in the 60's.
