According to his former peer, Tatum and his friends "would get drunk and come in to school hungover." While his boozy days were well known around the school, Tatum's mom and dad were still supportive parents, as seen in this note they published in his senior yearbook. "We are so very proud of you," they wrote.
The classmate said that teachers and students "could still smell it on them!" As RadarOnline.com readers know, Tatum's drinking and flirting with other women led to his split from Dewan after nine years.

His former classmate revealed to RadarOnline.com that Tatum was a regular in the principal's department. "He was always stuck in the office doing community service hours," the source spilled.
The 21 Jump Street funny man might not have regretted his boozy high school days back then.
