    My parents were really strict on the drink, so I could never get a drink at parties and the like, and although I am 20 now, I look about 17 (maybe younger) and I am always asked for ID :( (except at the local). Although I did sneek in the odd can or two, I never got a taste for beer until I went on holidays to spain and got pissed on strong local stuff for 1.50 a pint.

    Because of this, I hated (and still do) people under 18 who can get served without ID.

    Well, I'm 14, Yes, I drink, every second Friday night i will drink, whether it be six Dutch gold or a naggin of vodka.

    The thing about me is that my friends get drunk easier than me. If I drink the same amount as them, they will be staggering and I will be Merry on it. That way, I get drunk, but not enough to make a fool of myself...

    in regards to how much you could drink; i and most of my friends got drunk on very little and we were glad of it too because we were all fairly poor. we actually congratulated the person who could get drunk on the least amount of cans.


    When I said I drank less, I meant less often. Although It didn't really take much to get me buzzing in my younger years, I'd be completely pissed after a nagan.

    I was a good teenager and didnt go knacker drinking or anything. I couldnt even go to pubs when I was 18 as nowhere would serve me even with ID . So my youth was pretty sheltered.

    Yup, cant remember exact age but around 15 i think. Same formular every weekend for many years, Bottle of brandy, 2litre coke and one massive house party :D. I had loads of fun during my teen years, dont regret any of it. Funny thing is my mom had no idea any of it was going on, probably in denial. lol

    Can you go now? Or do you have to get a big boy to buy you drinks?

    Irregardless of that sexy sexy boy, it is funny to try and see some girls try to get in because they look 16. A certain 26 year old I used to live with had a lot of trouble before, especially as she got her age wrong, saying she was 24.
    Apparantly, 'the years just fly by'.


    Do people prefer to look younger than they are? I would.
    I suppose it would be a pain trying to get in and being asked for id again, but meh.
    Looked like a trouble maker?
    Aye, she looked like a punk ass bitch...or about 14. :p

    I reckon i was about 15 casually drinking occasionally sneaky drink here and there. At 16 drinking from time to time with mates and when i turned 17 i used a fake ID to go out - even got into a club that was 21's at the time!

    I can't remember the first time I drank an alcoholic drink. It was always treated pretty naturally in our house. It was never built up as some big thing that should be kept until your 18th birthday. To be honest, I think it's better that way. You never really form any kind of fascination with getting drunk or going out. It's just something that you do because you enjoy a drink, rather than something you do in order to get drunk.

    A good friend of mine was not allowed to drink until her 18th birthday. She's almost two years older than me. I've point blank refused to go on a night out with her again having had one too many nights of babysitting her, pulling her hair back while she puked and fighting sleazy guys off of her because she's too drunk to stand by herself! It's just not on.

    So in my opinion, it served me well that my parents treated alcohol as something normal and something that was to be occasionally enjoyed rather than exploited. Then again, it's not fair to generalise. Different strokes and all that jazz ;)
