What did you do when you turned 21?

[HAL9000]

On my 21st I went up to London, food + bar + nightclub, awesome night. Same as I did on my 18th (which is the big one in the UK, not 21)

I stayed layed up in a barracks room on Okinawa on convalescent leave, after my 2nd foot surgery. I never went out for anything involving alcohol the entire time I was there, the first time having a drink was probably a couple years after I turned 21. I still maybe only have a drink once every couple of months.

 

[Broheim]

I started drinking when I was 13 like all Danes do, so 21 isn't exactly a milestone...

 

[96Firebird]

Roommates and I had a party at our house, then at midnight the ones who were 21 went to the bars where I got even more drunk, then dine-and-ditched, and finally made it home to go to sleep.

 

[Meghan54]

Went to work like any other day. As the drinking age at the time was 18, and I was in the military at the time, it was just another birthday.

 

[darkewaffle]

Not a damn thing, since drinking is pretty much a great big 'who cares' and I think that's about all 21 is notable for.

 

[Saint Nick]

I went out with my room mates and friends at the time. The room mate got me into a bar he knew the tenders of, so we all drank for free. Some of my friends were definitely not 21.

Good night...

I was on deployment in the persian gulf, so I spent 12 hours on watch and in my spare time I helped replaced a bad bearing on an electric motor.

 

[lord_emperor]

I'm canadian so I could already drink, smoke, go to a strip club or act in a porno since I was 18.

I think on my 21st b-day I had some friends over and ate cake.

 

[mk]

I have no recollection of that day. Was in the army at the time, I probably did the same things I did the day before and the day after.

 

[xanis]

Had a party at my place, got super shitfaced.

(I can't drink Jaeger anymore)

 

[Red Squirrel]

Normal birthday for me. I don't even remember what I did. Think I went to the restaurant with my family, and that's about it. 20 was a bit bigger given I was officially an adult. 19 would have been huge if I drinked a lot, but I don't drink. I might of had a glass of wine, but that's the extent of it.

 

[shortylickens]

Went to Peabody's.
A MILF seduced me and boinked my brains out at a cheap motel.

Back then it was a crummy little dive, not the sophisticated hotspot it is now.

 

[artikk]

Nothing really, it wasn't a significant birthday.

[anyusername]

I licked whiskey off a stripper's butt.

 

[AlienCraft]

I was mixing the live sound for a band called Santa Esmeralda . We were opening for The Fania Allstars @ Roberto Clemente Stadium in San Jaun Puerto Rico.
Got laid that night by a beautiful young PR chick too! Times were great then, Early Coke, Pre-AIDS.

 

[OogyWaWa]

bought myself some $80 rum and got fucked up with friends

You ever ride on the "London Eye" when you were in London?

 

[mmntech]

It was a pretty normal birthday for me. When i was in uni, my brithday was always around midterms. Too busy to party. Even when I turned 19, I didn't hit the bottle like most do. I enjoy a good quality beer but I've never been much of a drinker.

 

[HAL9000]

Three times. Not a huge fan of heights however.

 

[moshquerade]

Three times. Not a huge fan of heights however.

It's on my bucket list.

 

[HAL9000]

It's on my bucket list.

Certainly worth doing, I did it twice on school trips and once with my partner for fun.

Edit: OH! And once with my family, so four times all together.

 

[GeekDrew]

I consider my 21st to be more of a week, rather than a day. Short version is that I made a road trip out of it, stayed with family, and then two separate friends. Had a lot to drink, and learned a lot about myself and the world. My 21st birthday itself sucked... the week was awesome, though.

 

[Wyndru]

Some friends and I got a limo and bar hopped all night. I got spanked bare assed with my belt at a bar by a chick with pasties on.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

Sat at home sober, my birthday is christmas eve and noone is up for doing anything interestingly enough
