[delidog]

I truly do not remember my 21st birthday....

I went to Vegas with friends and family. We had a really great time, I drank, but don't get drunk. The fun part was actually ordering the alcohol and being legal to do so.

Actually, that was when my aversion (healthwise) to alcohol began...but it was still fun.

The night of my birthday, we had dinner at the 5-star "Eiffel Tower" restaurant at the Paris Hotel. It was so wonderful...they even wrote 'Bon Anniversaire' on my chocolate souffle plate.

Oh goodness...parent's don't let your kids read this thread!

I turned 21 on Saturday, June 8 (year 2002) and my best friend/roommate (in college I rented an apartment with 3 of my sorority sisters) turned 21 on Sunday, June 9. So pretty much the whole weekend we were wasted. Friday night we bought a keg and had about 50 people over and drained the thing. I remember going to the gas station up the street to buy beer after midnight. I remember the next day sleeping in until about noon, then going to O'Charley's for lunch with everyone and drinking margaritas. I remember a friend came over and made me drink screwdrivers at 3 in the afternoon. Then I went out to the bars with my roommates and got completely messed up. I don't remember what I drank except for the 3 car bombs (you drop a shot of Bailey's Irish Cream into a glass of Guiness and chug). I don't remember getting home, or anything. I remember after I got home, laying in the floor of my apartment and pulling things out of my purse and throwing them at an ex-boyfriend (nice) and I also remember falling into my closet doors in my bedroom and breaking them, pouring a glass of ice water onto the floor, and my best friend puking. Yes I was belligerent. Then the next night was my roommates' 21st and we went out to the same bar and did it all over again, except by the end of the night I could only handle Jell-O shots because I thought I was going to puke.

Yeah so I pretty much got stupid and loved it!!!! Wish I had pics that were tame enough to post, LOL

I think on my 21st birthday I had a midterm exam in every class I was taking...in fact, I remember rescheduling my math exam for early to spread things out a bit.

The day after my 21st birthday, I went home to visit my best friend while she was working (bartending), and tried a few ice creams drinks...a grasshopper and a brandy alexander if I remember correctly

I just went out to dinner with my husband (still fiance at the time) and had one drink. It was nice and relaxing.

You can have a lot of fun while sober!!!

I agree. Not much of a drinker here, either. Anyway, i turned 21, 3 weeks before my wedding. We went on a cruise, so at least, i was legal, if i wanted a drink or 2...but again, didnt drink much then either...i am fine with just an ice tea (not the long island kind)

I drank alcohol for the first time. I first went to a place called El Sarape with my husband at the time (ex now) and a couple of friends that had to make it an early night. Then we went to a karaoke bar with our night owl friends. I had so much fun! Memories......

Is that Audrey I smell?!?

First I went out for my hour of power. Since I turned 21 at midnight I went to the bar until 1 a.m. when they close. I think I only had a drink or two, but it was fun. A few of my friends went with me. Then on my actual birthday I went out to applebees for happy hour and had some food and a mudslide. That night I had a nice party, since some of my friends were underage I didn't want to exclude them and I felt that a party would be more fun then going out to a bar.

Let's see ... when I turned 21, I was a stay-at-home mom with a 6 month old baby girl! I didn't drink then, and still have never even tasted the stuff! I do enjoy going out to EAT though ... far too much !!! LOL!!! See my other post / poll in General!

21? LOL! I turned 21 on the Sunday of Labor day weekend. ALL the bars were closed by the time my friend and I headed out. My town apparently rolled up the sidewalks at dusk on that weekend! We ended up driving an our away to a predominately gay town. We walked into a notorious gay bar and had SO much fun having the guys fawn all over us. I drank a whole single bottle of beer... I'm allergic to alcohol! We sang really bad karaoke, and got a standing ovation from the guys. It was so much fun.

I DO have to wodner about the dress I wore though... bright purple with white polka dots and a fluncy bohemian type colar! Yeah, I look back now and think I must have looked like a circus clown! Back then I though I looked mighty fine!

I can't really remember, I think I had to work.
