Why do people go and drink when they turn 21 ?

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
In Europe that's when they stop. 😅

@Miram (With the notable exception of putting the finger in the bottle of grappa at my grandpa's house when I was like 8 just for the sake of tasting what was forbidden 😌)

@Elessar the military lets you drink at the legal age of the country you are in so if you want to sign up to die for your country to drink then have at it.

@JimboSaturn I have to correct myself on the "I used to meet friends to smoke homemade waterpipe, which was of course impossible at commercial places" part. 😂 I totally forgot about this but at 16 I also had another group of friends with which I used to go to one hidden club where we smoked all we wanted. I just found old photos. 😆 Ohh..amazing times.
21? 😐 Shit, in England we're smoking and drinking at 13. We're pretty much through all the hard drugs by 16 and by 21 we're on our 14th rehab 🤔

@BadAssTunaBotHoe that's disturbingly funny! Lol

@BadAssTunaBotHoe I saw this comedian bit. In America if a guy has three glasses of wine at a dinner party people say he has a drinking problem, in England he is the designated driver.

Because they have been influenced to think its a really good time and they have been kept from doing so for theyre entire life.

For example anytime your parents or the law told you, you cant do something you want to do it more.

@MaryDreamilton if yourself is 21 years old.
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@MaryDreamilton are you new to English?

Because they are of legal age to do so, in the US anyway. Where I live. They only have to be 18.
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
Here they go at 18
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
@JimboSaturn Alberta is 18
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@Quimliqer I didn't know that.
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
@JimboSaturn Many years ago, I believe in the 70’s the age here was lowered from 21 to 18.
Lilyb · 22-25, F
Same place they went when they were 20
Morvoren · F
In a free country like mine, you can do it when you’re 18.
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Morvoren Here back in my days it was 16!
MoodysGoose · 51-55, M
@Morvoren you're just tryin to get blocked, aren't ya? 🤨😂

You live in the US. Surely you know that's the age when people are allowed to legally drink
MarineBob · 56-60, M
Guessing you never got a legal birthday girl
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@MarineBob That's considered rаре in a lot of states now.
Adrift · 61-69, F
I dont know, I started way earlier than that.
Echambers101 · 26-30, M
@Adrift im glad i never drank
Why do people eat apples when a perfectly good pear is available?
HannibalMontanimal · 26-30, M
It's part of the American Culture. "You're 21 now !!" "Here have a drink"
HumanEarth · F
I started long before I was 21. I figure if I was old enough to vote, old enough to fight for my county, and I'm old enough to smoke.

Then God Damn it I was old enough to drink alcoholic beverages

Government needs to stay out of humans lives
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@HumanEarth I feel like all of those except for the voting age should be raised. Your brain doesn't actually finish developing until you're about 25. But what do I know?
Lilliesandlight · 41-45, F
Cause they can. That's it
MaryDreamilton · 46-50, F
@Lilliesandlight Because.
royalblue1193 · 31-35, M
They can openly do it then
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
Because they can!!
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
In US society these days I guess it's a rite of passage, a celebration of becoming an "adult"? In my day the legal age was 18 in many states, so it was a bit different then.
justanothername · 51-55, M
In America it’s easier to get a gun than it is to get alcohol.
@justanothername Are you seriously sure about that, hmmm? I will bet you 1,000 to 1 Vegas odds that you are wrong.

@MaryDreamilton Yup, if it wasn’t then there wouldn’t be any mass shootings at any high schools by disgruntled students.
@MaryDreamilton No, not really
KingofBones1 · 46-50, M
Why not hell I was drinking when I was 13 at 21 that just mean I get to go in the club to see titties
jehova · 31-35, M
Bc they were prevented from doing it (openly) for such a long time. Its seems exciting\new.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
21 is a little old isn’t it? I was hitting bars at 14 and the legal drinking age here is 19
Seems like a good time to start drinking. I start 21.00 hours on the dot 😂.
updown2020 · 61-69, M
Well in some courtry's that is the legal drinking age .
MaryDreamilton · 46-50, F
We go and drink when we turn 18. Why? Because we can.
its fun. live a little. let your hair down..
Alisha233 · 31-35, F
Maybe because they don't wanna break the law 😆
Idk I did it way before that
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
I drink water when I am thirsty I can't for an age to turn up.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
It's a rite of passage. Being allowed to drink is a sign of being an adult. They are celebrating adulthood. Which is hilarious, because alcohol leads to doing some of the most childish sһit imaginable.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@LordShadowfire So true.
MethDozer · M
Because they want to have fun
It's a rite of passage into official adulthood, 18 to 21 is just the probationary period.
