What’s your guys’ thoughts on the take Jeremiah dodges accountability here?

I’ve heard this (absurd) take that in this scene Jeremiah is quickest to absolve himself of responsibility here.

While Laurel is chewing into everyone for underaged drinking Jeremiah tells her that he was the DD, therefore not drunk, and that saves him from the scrutiny. Some have even linked this back to the Lacie plot in how Jeremiah didn’t want to take any blame and therefore kept the secret to himself.

Obviously I don’t agree with any of this- but what do you guys think?
