Did you drink when you were under 21?

I did drink on a semi regular basis after I turned 20.. but then I was never stopped going into a bar... usually got in before rush hour to play pool or something and was in through happy hour 🙂
 
Drinking isn't for everybody, and you're the one that will lose if you let your friends decide for you. You should at least try it once though before you pass judgement. I had my fair share of running from the cops .. minor in possession is an expensive ticket! I'm 21, been drinking two years .. since I started drinking, my grades have improved, I got a hot girlfriend, and I can overclock higher. :beer: 😀
 
i started at 17 out of curiosity. hated the taste of beer but liked cocktails and vodka.
don't really drink now though.
 
I'm 20..and ive been drinking since i was 18. argh..21...is it July yet???

I know someone who's also 20..and won't drink until he's 21 (in january) because his grandparents told him that they'd give him a lot of money (i'm guessing $5000, don't remember)...if he holds out til he's 21. And obviously they can't watch him 24/7 to make sure he doesn't...but he said it's a trust/honesty thing for him..and he won't let his grandparents down.
 
Yes I did. But it was legal. The drinking age was changed to 21 after I turned 18 and I was "grandfathered". Now that I am a bit over 21 I don't drink.:wine:
 
i drink on weekends usually... but i turn 21 nov. 26th... so i dont have to worry about it anymore

yes.. i drank when i was under 21 😛

For those that are under 21 now, do you drink? This can be in college or at home or whatever. By drinking, I mean either moderately or heavily. Just wondering, since I'm in college and under 21 and don't plan on drinking... but that damn peer pressure, what can you do?

Ask around or hang out in coffee shops, I am sure you will find people who do not drink and share your interests.
