My husband and I (then fiance/boyfriend, don't remember) were on the other side of the country for an event so the two of us went exploring on this swanky beach town. We bar hopped to 3 or 4 different places and by the end of the night, I was barfing in the ocean!!! I got WAY too drunk. I was disappointed, though, because I didn't get carded once the whole time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2129886 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 20:59:58 +0000 travellingbee 2129886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: that's what I was thinking! Geez, how can I rememwber what I drank more than 16 years ago!! LOL, </p> <p>I know I drank. I went to a bar with friends. I'd been drinking for a while... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2129874 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 20:42:52 +0000 purrpletulips 2129874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I turned 21 on a Sunday over Christmas Break; I had a glass of wine at my Grandmother's house to humor my mother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2129302 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 11:14:50 +0000 prettylizy 2129302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Legal age here is 19, and yes, I had LOTS to drink on my 19th birthday :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2129284 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 11:05:57 +0000 Mama Bird 2129284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah, I'd been drinking with the family since I was 12, so the novelty had worn off :grin: And I can't stand the smell of most drinks, they remind me too much of alcohol swabs... it's kind of pathetic when I'm out with friends and everyone's drinking and I'm pretending to sip something, but I can't do anything about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2128944 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 06:34:12 +0000 looch 2128944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, when I was in college, we had IDs, I was going to bars when I was a freshman, so by the time I was 21, it wasn't even fun anymore because the bars were loaded up with all the rookies that had never gone to a bar before that.</p> <p>My birthday was in the summer and I happened to be living in Boston that summer, so yes, we went out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2128928 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 04:51:09 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2128928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, god yes. </p> <p>I was home on the Navy base for the Summer. My brother took me out to the "all hands" bar and every military guy who thought he was so clever bought me a Sex on the Beach. I don't know how many I had. And I probably shouldn't have followed it up later with a bottle of Miller Lite. </p> <p>I remember it so clearly. Coming home and getting in bed thinking, "I'm totally fine!" Then getting the spins. Then running to the bathroom and throwing up hot pink. Fun times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2128911 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 02:03:24 +0000 ctegge0416 2128911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I did! My friends and I went to Vegas for three nights and had a blast! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2128906 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 01:20:17 +0000 erinpye 2128906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! My friends threw me a surprise party! I only remember the first half of that night. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2128905 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 01:18:54 +0000 lamariniere 2128905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I had a terrible cold and just went to bed early. But that was during my study abroad year in Paris, so I had been drinking long before my birthday. :happy: I remember it being the strangest feeling buying bottles of wine without having to be worried about being carded. The very first time I remember panicking at the checkout because I didn't have ID on me, and then remembering a few seconds later that I didn't need it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2128799 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:24:03 +0000 skipra 2128799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember! Maybe at dinner. I was planning to go out after dinner but it was in the middle of finals so I passed out and never made it to the bar. Oops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2128792 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:19:49 +0000 Mae 2128792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. I went out to a bar with some friends. But I was home by like midnight and not drunk. I had class at 7:50 the next morning and it was my first year of law school and my prof was already on my ass because I'd been seriously ill earlier in the month and missed a few classes. So I really needed to be there and not hung over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday/page/2#post-2128788 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:17:10 +0000 MrsF 2128788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>definitely</p> <p>and my birthday is halloween so there were always lots of people looking to have fun :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128786 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:15:21 +0000 matador84 2128786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Not my first drink but we did go to a 21+ only bar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128782 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:11:35 +0000 Adira 2128782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, the bars were closed. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128777 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:08:49 +0000 loveisstrange 2128777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I had the flu and we sat around playing Apples to Apples in my friend's living room.</p> <p>I totally made up for it on my 22nd. I dont even remember it. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128768 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:03:11 +0000 youboots 2128768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I had a salty dog. Still one of my fave cocktails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128753 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:52:23 +0000 Anagram 2128753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um.... Yes. In my college town, it was a tradition for all the bars (and random ppl at the bars) to give you shots of jäger on your 21st. I had sooo many of those. Yikes.</p> <p>After the bars closed at 2, we went to a random house party till 4 and when my friends dragged me out, I spotted a trampoline in someone's yard and climbed their fence in my dress to jump on it. :silly: </p> <p>Some guys lived there and all came outside to watch me jumping on their trampoline. I ended up using their toilet, haha. And many many years later, my friend had a work colleague that told a "hilariously weird story" of the time some girl climbed her fiancés fence and jumped on his trampoline at 4 in the morning. Oops? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128728 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:32:43 +0000 Andrea 2128728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so old that I can't remember! I kinda remember going to Nobu for my bday so I probably did. Not that it was my first drink anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128725 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:31:24 +0000 artsyfartsy 2128725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but it definitely wasn't my first drink! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128687 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:30:34 +0000 turquoisemama 2128687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did have a glass of pink champagne. By that time I had already had my sisters fake ID so I wasn't that excited. My 21st birthday was the day before my cousins wedding so we were staying with my grandparents...not a great party crowd. I also had a glass of wine at the wedding but the bartender didn't even card me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128686 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:30:17 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2128686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I had been legally allowed to drink for 2 years already so it wasn't a big deal, but I went to my local pub with some friends and drank litre beers all night. It wasn't pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128681 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:26:30 +0000 MrsSCB 2128681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, yep, I had a drink...or five. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128680 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:24:24 +0000 Ms. RV 2128680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No... I had an exam the next day. I waited until that Friday. First time I ever drank, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128667 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:14:53 +0000 LAZB 2128667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely, I had lots of drinks. Far from the first time I drank though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128600 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 17:23:40 +0000 MrsYellowJacket 2128600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128598 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 17:22:45 +0000 jhd 2128598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I was studying abroad that year so I could have had a drink legally before then anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128561 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:49:14 +0000 Synchronicity 2128561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had quite a few on my 19th! My parents bought me my first legal drink at dinner and my friends took me out to a gross university bar that night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128547 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:32:27 +0000 snowjewelz 2128547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes... A bit too much I think.. Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-on-your-21st-birthday#post-2128539 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:27:37 +0000 maddyz 2128539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my birthday beer at the bar on campus. They know when you're birthday is, the joys of a small school. It was a quiet night, there had just been a bad accident on campus and a death. It was not my first drink and I really want in the mood. But it was nice to drink my new castle and have a chat. </p>
