I feel like I may have drank more before turning 21 than after due to living in a small town with lots of keg parties and working in bars starting at age 19. I was a bartender when I was 20, pretty sure that wasn't legal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-alcohol-before-you-were-21#post-543094 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 07:03:23 +0000 sslm 543094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bebefly: I am!
