Drinking Age

[Hulud]

Really????

You can serve in the Army when you volunteer and just because you are 18.

You can get somebody pregnant just because you have sperm in your ejaculate.

You can serve in the Army but that doesn't make you GROWN.

You can get somebody pregnant, but that doesn't make you a FATHER.

Should I keep showing you how both things are examples of just because and not equal to?????

Just because you are legally an adult at 18 it doesn't mean you ARE. Even at 21, you are still wet behind the ears, especially men.

Besides, when yall finally get there you will find out, just like many other things yall think are sooooo important now, that it's really not that big a deal. It's a big deal now because you're not supposed to. When you can w/o getting in trouble, it will quickly lose it's luster.

good point, i stand corrected

but i still feel they should all be the same age, i mean i could care less though b/c ill be 21 in a month

I guess this is where I'm a little confused.

Growing up in London England the drinking age is 18.

But if you are with your dad in a pub you can drink. You will get served a shandy (beer and english sprite). Actually a very smooth drink, no beer taste. You can get them at taco mac. Even though the one near me in woodstock the bartender tends to fuck it up every time. Too much beer.

I grew up with beer and wine in the house. Grew up with dad being a london police officer so pretty much had to watch what I did.

I also grew up with grandma letting me have a drink of her guinness from the age of 2.

Too me drinking over here was not a big deal since I have been around it all my life.

The best way I can relate to you guys who are under the designated age is when i grew up my mum would not let me have a motor bike. Well it made me want one really bad. Now I'm old enough and mum says why not you own your own house you have a son. I dont really want one.

Basically if you get told no you cant have it, it makes you want it even more. (i believe this is called reverse psycology)

I guess also this goes back to all those lovely little 16 year olds popping out babies. Being told you cant have sex just makes them want it more, except they dont know what to do and boom. Look mummy and daddy I have a trophy.

Now please keep in mind that this has been my observation since I've grown up it two different countries and lifestyles.
