In celebration of my upcoming 21st birthday, do you remember what you drank on yours? Any suggestions?

Are you asking for first alcoholic drinks, or first legal alcoholic drinks? Actually, either way I don't remember. Well, legally I think it may have been Miller High Life or something, but I'm not sure.
Right at midnight, a 16 oz can of Old English 800 in the parking lot of the mini-mart down the street. Then hit the bars for a few hours.
what didn't I drink on my 21st, is a better question.
For my eighteenth I was on fosters most the night with a good few shots...sambuca was involved...and a ginger girl from what I recall... (UK so allowed to drink at eighteen)
race the next day (minor league, ended up racing every single weekend and twice (excluding doubles in same meet which happened frequently) a few as well) was fun, fell over 5 times (XC over grass so fine) but managed to kick for the win. Was just lucky the standard was low.
Have a couple beers and maybe a shot of Jack and enjoy it. Don't let some idiot feed you all kinds of shots and sweet crap and make you pass out before the night starts.
Happy Birthday!
Raided my folks liquor cabinet when I was 14. Downed a ton of scotch and gin. Woke up outside passed out and naked...had no idea how I got out there...
Happy Birthday...
21 ? that's real late to start isn't it. I suppose i must have had a few beers and the occasional vodka from about 15 onwards.

Of course I have drank before, just not legally.
man, i'm 25 and drank some of those last night. this doesn't bode well for my level of sophistication does it?

First day of legal drinking came at age 19 for me as a freshman in college (19 was the age at the time in Ohio -- as it should still be if you ask me). Had never been drunk and wanted to know what all the fuss was about. Had 6 Michelobs in about 2 hours and spewed for the next few hours and had a huge hangover the next day. I've not had a Michelob since. One of the handful of times in my life that I've been drunk.
More proof that Flagpole Willy is a little girl.

God bless Canada.
I was probably 4 or 5 the first time I drank. We were at a family reunion or something in a dimly-lit dance hall. There was a cup sitting on the table that I could have sworn was my Sprite, but it was definitely not.

Whatever dude. Getting drunk is no measure of a man's manhood.
first day i went to college i enjoyed natural ice from a keg. good thing i didnt know it was a shitty beer then. i do now tho.

Nay, in fact getting immoderately drunk sends my manhood into a veritable coma. (A ninety mile week OTOH merely predisposes my manhood to take frequent siestas...)
Turning 21 marked a downturn in my alcoholic consumption. Very rarely in the eighteen years and change since have I drunk anywhere near the volume we used to routinely as teens. Being blind drunk (and suffering the day-after consequences) rarely seems like the answer to the question: what's the most enjoyable thing I could be doing?
Hey FW, I'm with you on the cell phone floggings too. Though maybe to keep with the late 20th century tech theme, cell phone violators should be tazed not flogged.
