If you think 20 is bad, wait til your 21. Every other night is somebody's 21st and your expected to go out. Thank god that period in my life is over. I will say though, that drinking isnt what it use to be. By that i mean its not all about getting drunk anymore. Its about having a good time with close friends, or friends that you can be around when you want a drink. Get retarted on a regular basis loses its appeal when you can buy it legally. I guess thats why the Europeans have it right with the young drinking ages. Most study abroad students (at least at my school) can hold thier liquor and understand limits, unlike most American college students.
