21, FINALLY!

[Nine Toes]

Ladies and gentlemen... Sully is finally legal.   I can buy my own beer!  YES!

Funny thing is... I've been to numerous bars, and bought my own beer a few times, but I've never been carded once yet...

If I had known it was going to be that easy, I wouldn't have waited until I was 21 to be an alcoholic.    Do you know how L-L-L-O-O-O-N-N-N-G-G-G these last few months have been?

I wish I lived in Canada... 19 is the legal limit there.  Naw, screw canada... I wish I lived in Germany... what's the legal limit there?  5?

It kinda sucks though... Wisconsin just lowered the BAC limit to 0.08 from 0.1.  So according to the law, if I have one beer... I'm too drunk to drive.

Congratulations, what a great age to be. From there its all downhill. j/k

I remember turning 21 many years ago, and was so relieved to actually go into a store and buy my own alcohol.  I never drank any alcohol before i turned 21, and then all of a sudden, BOOM, i find myselfing enjoying a few cold ones every now and then. Hey, at least now you don't have to worry about getting busted at bars.

Happy birthday.

I wish I lived in Canada... 19 is the legal limit there.  Naw, screw canada... I wish I lived in Germany... what's the legal limit there?  5?

AFAIK: 16 for beer and other relatively weak beverages, 18 for harder ones. Don't take my word for it, I don't drink so I don't care much about these things.

[Minimi]

Wow... the legal age in Holland is 16, but at the age of 13, I already got to buy strong alcoholic drinks!

0.08, not 0.8

Even though there isn't much to me anyway. (only about 165 lbs.)

A 21 year drinking age would be irritating, by the time you're that age, you won't be stupid enought to do all the stupid things you want to do when you get drunk.

[Domino]

New York State:

Legal Drinking Age: 21
Legal Cigarette Purchase: 18
Narcotics: Illegal
Prostitution: Illegal
Speed Limit on Highways: NYS Thruway Max Speed is 65

I'm pretty sure that all Narcotics are Illegal in the US, but some prostitution is Legal in Nevada.

I was stupid enough.
In fact, at 25 I think I can say that while the stupid things may have changed slightly in their nature, they are most certainly still there.
Although the definition of 'stupid' may vary...

Anyways, I have to say one of the most annoying things ever was going down to Florida with my girlfriend when we were 20 and being denied entry into every damn bar and club around. I was practically a veteran drinker at that point for farts sake.

So what do teenagers do for fun in less alcoholic parts of the world?

Not that I condone underage drinking of course...

"So what do teenagers do for fun in less alcoholic parts of the world?"

hang out, joke around, remember what they did on the weekend, not kill people in car crashes, not vomit every other day, not complain about self induced headaches, save money, not worry their parents, heroin

[Toefur]

There is more to life than alcohol, ya'll know... Quite a lot more actually...

[Layabout]
