Im Hungary it's 18, but we can mostly get alcohol even under it...

[sabreur]

Used to be that way in the U.S., back in the bad old days.

Let me get you a drink, my dear. No one is going to card <b>me</b>.

[JackOfHearts]

Well, I turn 21 in april. Anyone got any reccomendations for a first drink?

[sabreur]

Here's some wisdom about drinking in general that my father passed on to me when I went to college.

1. Never drink anything you can't see through.
2. Never drink anything that comes with an umbrella, fruit, or other strange items on a stick.
3. Never drink anything with a cutesy name.

It won't save you completely, but it will keep you out of the inner circles of Hell.

[Fencergrl]

Is it really you first drink??
Hmm... hard to say, I would think something light like a beer (even though I personally gag on the stuff).

Or try something mixed, then you can add more mix to if it’s too strong... like rum and coke or orange juice and vodka. Whatever you decide, do not drink too many different drinks in one night, such as going from beer to wine to rum to whiskey…

If you don’t follow this advice… then stay away from cruel friends and family who will no doubt torture you the next day while you’re in your weakened state.

Ha! Advice from a beer drinker!

My dad gave me a beer when I was nine. Haven't touched the stuff since. Though I'd like to keep an open mind.

Ouzo. ( Hey, you can even see through it! )

Our birthdays are just before Passover, so if you like (really) sweet, then go for some Maneschewitz. Very sweet wine. I like it, but I have a sweet tooth.

Yeah... something that comes in a small enough glass so that you don't get totally smashed and make a fool out of yourself 10 minutes in.

That'd have to be a snaps.

Well, THAT should prevent JoH from ever having another drink and possibly becoming an alcoholic!

Now, where did that bottle of Ouzo go? My glass is empty!

Maeve took it. Anyone seen her lately?

[Nusy]

Nope, but PLEASE don't.... Ouzo.... noooo... nooooo.... I even hate its smell (and that's why I don't even like Jägermeister).
A Becherovka, anyone?

[Fencergrl]

She pops in every now and then... I think we need to entice her away from her latest obsession if we want her back for good.

[JackOfHearts]

Ah, screw waiting. Which way to the bar?

[Go? Fencing?]

*Steps in front of Jack* Hey there, Jack! Do you want a root beer or a cream soda? *Holds bottles out*

[JackOfHearts]

*takes the cream soda, kisses G?F?s hand, and retreats to a quiet corner of the room*

[Go? Fencing?]

*mutters* There he goes, running away again....

*looks around*

*shrugs and opens root beer*

*takes a swig*

[Nusy]

*appears in a corner* Oh, hello, hello... Fancy a Martini? Shaken, not stirred
