was working at my co-op, bought a big bottle of chimay blue, thick ribeye, potatoes, and mushrooms. had a epic dinner, finished the chimay.
 
I'm going to a stripper club with a few people I know. I'll be buying a friend a drink. I will also be getting a new license that week. (WA licenses have differences between <21 and 21+)



Hold the phone, you are turning 21?

Why the fuck are you buying anything for anyone else but you, hell your friends should be paying
 
Way back before MADD the drinking age was 18 in my state of origin. Which meant if you were 16 and not a dick you could buy alcohol. So 21 was nothing special.
 
I didn't really drink then. Instead, me and a bunch of my friends got dressed up real fancy and went to Denny's.
 
Ordered various drinks at various places starting at lunch. Never got carded. Then again, I still never have except at walmart
 
Heh, that reminds me of when my fiend took us all out for dinner on his birthday. It was kinda weird, but whatever.

thats sad really, He was buying company instead of having good friends take him out to do something with.

or maybe he is just weird lol
 
I remember my brother driving from Cinncinnati to Urbana to surprise me with a few of my other high school friends (really cool), remember going to some bars, vaguely remember trying to climb onto a table at Taco Bell before somebody pulled me down from behind, not much else.....
 
Just came in here to say, i have never smoked, never done any kinds of illegal drugs, nor have i partaken in alcohol. I am 18 years old and plan on keeping it this way. No I dont care if you do any of those things around me, i just wont join you 😛
 
Bought a bottle of scotch, and consumed a single shot. My birthday is always either on finals week or the weekend before finals week.
 
I went to Lake Tahoe with my immediate family and my now-wife for a weekend of legal gambling.

When I was in college, two of my fraternity brothers were going to turn 21 on the same day. We drove a caravan of 7 vehicles from Orange County to Las Vegas the night before. We got there at about 11 p.m. and headed to the Frontier for the dollar Blackjack tables. As we walked in, we asked security to card all of us.

The Birthday Boys got to stand outside for an hour 😉
