Deep Vermillion Yep, we can legally drink at 18, but we can't legally buy until we're 20. Ah... interesting. Quote: Germany, however... Hm. I know they didn't exactly stop us from buying anything when me and my friends were there and we were 16 at the time. And yeah, we pretty much bought everything. xp Good times. heart When I was there (and this may just have been a line they fed the Americans... because we are notarious for not being able to hold our liquor) in Nordrhein Westfahlen (sp), 16 got us Beer and Wine... but the hard stuff they said had to wait til 18.

Deep Vermillion Hehe, trust me, it's better to start out gently. ;3 Especially if parents are watching. xd No kidding. Back when the drinking age was 18, I moved to Texas and lived there until I was 21. So of course, when my birthday came we celebrated my being 'legal'. We also had a friend whose birthday was the day before mine. So we celebrated his until Midnight and mine until closing time. I was drinking Jack and Coke. Big mistake. BIG, BIG mistake!Many prayers were subsequently sent to the Porcelain God. THEN, my friend came to pick me up and go have Chinese food for lunch. Needless to say, I didn't eat. So I equate drinking with throwing up. It's a very rare occasion when I do drink anymore.

Arcadian Also, don't shrug off friends drinking themselves into oblivion. Give them s**t for it. Actually... I take an even more heavey handed approach... but I don't suggest it for everyone... sweatdrop If one is going to drink... it should be done in the presence of good friends (the kind that won't get you killed) and family. And away from the armoury... sweatdrop Also... starting cold turkey is very dangerous... no boozes to lots of booze in one night is likely to hurt someone bad... and never, ever, use diet soda as a mixer... sweatdrop

How odd. confused They certainly didn't enforce any rules like that for us... But it seems odd that they'd lie to you. Maybe it's different in different places. Usagi Zendrake No kidding.

But while I'm on the nostalgia cruise... there was this bar we went to that had some sort of concoction that they'd bring out in a pitcher with a flaming sugar cube on top. I know that it had Everclear in it, but forget what else. It tasted sort of like Kool-Aid. The most stupefying Kool-Aid you would ever be likely to consume!
Of course, this was back when I frequented the discos.
I love the 80's.... strikes back!

And always, always make sure you've not had any medication (not even aspirin) at any time during the day before going out drinking. xp

Fiddlers Green Actually... 24 is when the IRS and most insurance companies consider one to be an adult... sweatdrop Yes! I have another few years! domokun biggrin Usagi Zendrake But while I'm on the nostalgia cruise... there was this bar we went to that had some sort of concoction that they'd bring out in a pitcher with a flaming sugar cube on top. I know that it had Everclear in it, but forget what else. It tasted sort of like Kool-Aid. The most stupefying Kool-Aid you would ever be likely to consume! The flaming sugarcube sounds like absinthe, but there should never be any Everclear near it, so that's obviously not it. xp Quote: Of course, this was back when I frequented the discos.
