I didn't like the sudden responsibility to buy alcohol for everyone.

[–]Trapped_in_Reddit 14 points15 points ago

Just keep the change. You make some money, they get drunk, everybody wins.

[–]happythoughts413 10 points11 points ago

Especially because most of them don't actually know how much liquor costs.

"Oh, yeah, Burnett's is really expensive."

[–]LatinLover69 10 points11 points ago

"Sauza is some primo shit bro, you gotta pony up or the girls won't respect you."

[–]skyfire23[S] 6 points7 points ago

I literally just got back from the grocery store picking up beer and some other stuff for my roommates. I also got some stuff for myself but still.

[–]bigweiner 0 points1 point ago

Happy birthday and get ready to buy more beer than you could ever imagine. I told my roommates that once they turned 21 I was never buying beer again. One of them said "no problem I won't have a problem going out and getting it." Motherfucker didn't even like leaving the house to get fast food. Needless to say they went out and bought all the beer for about a month until they tired of it.

[–]tattlerat 15 points16 points ago

I remember that feeling when I was 18.

Whenever a friend turns 21 here we celebrate their ability to drink in the United States.

[–]wOlfLisK 2 points3 points ago

It's weird how there is a 5 year gap between being able to buy alcohol in some european countries and the US. Actually, thats not weird, thats just the US.

[–]1CUpboat 4 points5 points ago

"It was 18 until this Mothers Against Drunk Drivers bullshit."

-My father, everytime this comes up

[–]Kotaniko 6 points7 points ago

Being the first to turn 21 sucks because you still can't go to bars, unless you want to go alone.

[–]fysu 1 point2 points ago

Yep, but being last to turn 21 means everyone is going to bars without you. You don't get to go to any of the birthday parties either.

[–]Kotaniko 0 points1 point ago

It's good to be second or third.

[–]Joesiscool 2 points3 points ago

Make sure you make all your friends repay the favor. The first day my youngest friend returned from Vegas for his 21st I told him to go get me beer. He said, "Fuck you!" I replied, "So you're telling me that after all those times that I went out and got you beer over the last two years, the first time I ask you, your gonna tell me no...?" He asked me what I wanted.

[–]bigweiner 1 point2 points ago

Yeah... this works for about a month.

[–]asdf_2 4 points5 points ago

i love italy, because you can buy beer and wine with zero. you can buy liquor and whiskey and all the other stuff at 16

[–]nmorf 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, now be ready for call/texts from people you havent talked to in a long time for alcohol. It's a blast!

[–]Zelcron 1 point2 points ago

This was me. I ended up spending over $100 on booze for everyone on my birthday, which we spent at my apartment.

[–]jacketit 1 point2 points ago

For my 21st birthday, I went to Taco Mac with my parents and a few friends and had a few beers. My buddy's 21st was a week later, so we went out and his brother and brother in law tried to get us to pass out at random bars. His was way better.

[–]lizardking99 1 point2 points ago

I live in Ireland. This joke has no meaning

[–]tweedledee3inatree 1 point2 points ago

Tina Fey = upvote

[–]buttercup_mauler 1 point2 points ago

I'm the last of my friends to turn 21...so this is me while they're at the bars and I'm home alone. I need to make friends with freshmen or something

[–]BlackDeath3 4 points5 points ago

Am I the only person on the face of the planet with no interest in alcohol?

[–]nate5330 2 points3 points ago

You are not alone.

[–]Pigydood 3 points4 points ago

Is this Rick Santorum?

[–]BlackDeath3 0 points1 point ago

That's probably a more informative answer to my question than you think it is. Either you like alcohol, or you're quite possibly Rick Santorum.

[–]bigweiner 1 point2 points ago

Yes

[–]BlackDeath3 -1 points0 points ago

Thank you for the straight answer, but it was really just a rhetorical question in the first place. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but it sure feels like it. Anyway, carry on with the downvotes.

[–]bigweiner -1 points0 points ago

Lol... You should get drunk. It's fun and stuff

[–]BlackDeath3 3 points4 points ago

I doubt it's my kind of thing. Sounds like a waste of time.

[–]Biganon 0 points1 point ago

There's also a subreddit for people who don't masturbate.

Meh.

Great for you.

[–]BlackDeath3 0 points1 point ago

Masturbating and drinking alcohol are two very different things, but... duly noted.

[–]Biganon 0 points1 point ago

Indeed. I just don't understand how someone can honestly have no interest in something that will physically make you feel better.

[–]BlackDeath3 0 points1 point ago

Which act are you talking about? I see nothing wrong with masturbation; there are many good reasons to do it. I'm not sure that I can say the same for drinking alcohol.

[–]frank2791 1 point2 points ago

Right there with you, buddy.

[–]mciccone640 0 points1 point ago

Also how it feels to be the first of your friends that graduates and starts a career.

[–]ferret15 0 points1 point ago

Also, you will probably be carry 1 of them out of the bar at some point due to you not being as drunk as them for 2 reasons. Alcohol tolerance and not drinking past that tolerance out in public.

[–]nillut 4 points5 points ago

So true, nobody under the age of 21 has any form of alcohol tolerance. It's would be illegal for them to have and we know that all young people follow all laws.

[–]ferret15 0 points1 point ago

So are you not 21? Your sarcasm speaks loudly. Maybe i should have said pacing and not tolerance. I've got friends still turning 21 and i keep seeing the same thing over and over. Its still fun and i can't wait for my brother to turn.

[–]nillut 1 point2 points ago

I'm 24, in my conutry you can legally drink from age 18 and the first time I got drunk I was 14.

Most of my friends had their can't-hold-my-liqour phase long before they were legally allowed to drink. Which is what I was getting at in my previous post. I've carried friends home and I've gotten carried home, but never as a result of anyone's first time at a club.

[–]handjivewilly 0 points1 point ago

Grew up near Canada only had to reach 19. Then we had to wait for the last friend to turn 21 so we could stop going to Canadian bars.

[–]delrio56 0 points1 point ago

One time, I was helping my friends set up for a party they were gonna have at their apartment. Everyone there, except for me, was under 21, so I had to buy the booze (we all chipped in to buy a keg and some 5ths). Party starts, and it's awesome. About 25 people in a apartment not meant for more then 10. Inevitably, things got loud and the cops were called for a noise complaint. If either of those cops decided to make any sort of effort to do their job, I would have been fucked over for probably the rest of my life. Fortunately, they told us to be quiet and went on their way, and we all got mexican food. Great night.

[–]Solomaxwell6 0 points1 point ago

Cops usually don't bother you in that kind of situation unless you're a repeat offender.

[–]HerpMcDerpenheimer 0 points1 point ago

Why is this special?

[–]skyfire23[S] 0 points1 point ago

The joke is that I don't have any other friends who are 21 so a lot of the fun stuff that goes along with turning 21 isn't all that fun because you have no one to do it with.

[–]Karatekidmax 0 points1 point ago

so true.....i turned 21 3 weeks ago and its rather boring and un eventful

[–]Kelsadar 0 points1 point ago

Yep. I know that awesome feeling and then the realization that you are the go to guy for booze buying. I'm in Montreal, so it was actually 18.

[–]TWiesengrund 0 points1 point ago

It feels "502 - Bad Gateway"?

[–]Solomaxwell6 0 points1 point ago

I was the last of my group of friends to turn 21, and that was just as bad. So many times I'd get a call: "Hey, Solomaxwell6, we're all going out to the local bar tonight, wanna come?" And then I'd have to remind them that I still couldn't legally drink, and I'd get to spend my Friday night alone. :(

[–]couldbekidding 0 points1 point ago

"Cool story bro, can you go get us some OE's... We need like 9 quarts." Fml

[–]Burlapin 0 points1 point ago

When I started in film school (in Vancouver, Canada), a lot of people in my school were from the states, and were extremely happy to be able to join us at the bars and pubs. When they graduated (one year program) and went back home, where they couldn't drink, it was both funny and sad.

[–]ChrisHayesArt 0 points1 point ago

18 for drinking in ireland!.... but we still all start at about 13.... feck i'm conforming to my stereotype....

[–]mosher89 0 points1 point ago

I know the feeling well. Now that all of my friends are 21 though it seems we have to wait until all of their girlfriends are 21 because if they know we are out drinking, they want to go. Which rules out bars for us. It's back to lame nights in the basement because girls throw hissy fits.

[–]TheOneBritishGuy 0 points1 point ago

Or you could just move to Europe where everyone is buying alcohol from about 12.

[–]Biganon 0 points1 point ago

As a European I don't really know who that girl is... but she sure is cute as fuck.

­

Also : please forgive me if she's perfectly well-known in Europe.

[–]coffea_arabica 0 points1 point ago

Tina Fey. It's from "30 Rock," you should definitely watch it if you can. You won't regret it.

[–]alexanderwept 0 points1 point ago

God, she's gorgeous.

[–]spambat 0 points1 point ago

In New Zealand, the legal age to buy alcohol is 18, so this was me - until I actually had to buy alcohol for them and carry it back.

Arseholes.

[–]awesomeman91 0 points1 point ago

This is how I'll feel in November.

[–]Runfromidiots 0 points1 point ago

Its like being the first one to drive all over again.

[–]finknfankn 0 points1 point ago

this will be me in a couple years

[–]vieunem -2 points-1 points ago

does someone know the name of the girl on the gif ?

[–]Vakz 1 point2 points ago

That would be Tina Fey as Liz Lemon in 30 Rock.

[–]notjawn -2 points-1 points ago

All I can say is: If a cute girl wants alcohol you better get a date out of it or no dice.

[–]prometheus1981 -2 points-1 points ago

Suddenly, bj's by hot girls for booze.
