@wrwlumpy Has anyone ever waited until they reached legal age to imbibe for the first time?
-
Of course… the entire student body at KU waits it out. It is part of their character. After all, every single KU student has a proper ID proving they are 21, even when they are frosh.

Everybody in France! You can let your kids taste the wine at restaurants.

Just wait until he gets married and gets to take part in the hanky-panky!!

I waited until I was legal… in Iowa, which was 19 at the time.
(grew up in Illinois near the Quad Cities/went to college in Kirksville, MO, so I was only 30 miles from the border either way.)
Close enough. Been making up for lost time ever since.

@DanR I waited as well (we’re talking about drinking, right?) It was 18 in Kansas at the time. And like you said, made up for lost time for quite a while. But - I saw the video of my brother in law’s 30th birthday party many moons ago and have not had a drop of anything with alcohol in it since. AA should seriously consider video as a means of deterant. It worked for me…

First, you go to church and they tell you wine is the blood of Christ.
In time you become addicted to the wine.
Then you lose your faith in Christ because of your addiction to the wine.
Then wine addiction wrecks your life.
Then you go to AA and put yourself in the hands of a higher power: a God with coffee.
It’s all makes sense.

They don’t tell you that.
I have received communion thousands of times in 45 years. The total amount of transfigured wine I have been blessed to receive would not fill one wine glass.
I wish you hadn’t written that post.

Lucky you.
Don’t marginalize my religious experience with yours, or the last 1000-2000 years of monasteries hustling the grape to create dependent flocks. Where the hell do you think states and corporAtions learned the trick of addictive substance dumping from? Aliens from outer space?
I wish you hadn’t written your post either, but it’s a free, 24/7 surveilled web.

@konkeyDong Pretty sure I was 18. Summer camp, snuck out with bunch of friends. Great memory. Yes I actually remember that!

Of course it was aliens, have ever seen Ancient Aliens, they explain it all.

@nuleafjhawk Mostly kidding about the “making up for lost time” comment. I enjoy beer (craft/regional stuff) and that’s it, but I know enough people with problems with alcohol that I shouldn’t joke about it.
