When I was in high school, the drinking age was 18. Many of the seniors were 18 so they would buy kegs of beer and charge a dollar a cup. Every Friday and Saturday night you could look up at the rim rocks (sandstone cliffs partially surrounding the city) and see fires burning. Where the fires were identified who was there. Jocks at this one, freaks at that one and a mixed crowd over there. One particularly cold night, I paid my dollar and got my cup. I went over and stood next to a blazing pallet fire. As I stood there gazing into the fire, I became aware that I was the only one close to the fire. I started to hear little snippet of conversations “What’s he doing up there?” and “That guy is nuts!”. After I casually walked out to where the crowd was standing, The two capped beer bottles that someone had thrown into the fire exploded. Good times!!

I got to drive when I was 15 and drink when I was 18.
Neither of those was a particularly great birthday, though.

I find it incredible that Americans cannot drink until 21. You can go and fight a war, or get married, but you are not allowed to drink?

If they’ve earned it, it’s not slander.

Six days later Scott still has the same cartoon up. Must have run out of ideas. Or did that happen in 2011?
