Money, Alcohol and Teenagers: Congratulations, you played yourself

Congratulations, you played yourself

Today, my friend and I wanted to get some alcohol (we're under 21). We went to a liquor store and asked a random guy to go in and buy us some vodka. After giving him $20, he said he had to go turn off his car, then he'd get us the drinks. He got in his car and drove off, with my $20. FML

Today, when I went to the gas station to buy beer, some underage punk outside asked me to buy him booze. I told him to get bent, but the dumbass cashier had seen me talking to him, and refused to let me buy alcohol because, "This is obviously a sting." FML

Today, I asked a guy if he could buy me a pack of cigarettes, since I'm still under 18. He took my money, went into the supermarket, and must have slipped out a side-entrance, because he never came back. FML

Today, I was waiting in the car while my mom went into a store to get beer. A few minutes later, some guy was knocking on my window telling me to open the door. I started cursing him out, thinking I was getting attacked. Turns out he worked there and was putting the beer in the car. FML

Today, I bought a small bottle of liquor to share with my husband to celebrate our move. It took three hours at the store as the cashier, manager, GM, and a police officer checked my ID believing it was fake. I'm 25. FML

Today, I was at a bar with a friend. A guy came up to me, took my drink and drank it. I laughed and jokingly said "now, you have to buy me a drink." He said "I would rather buy your friend a drink." FML

He's a good man

By no booze, no boyfriend - 04/06/2013 20:31 - United States

Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me from jail, expecting me to bail him out. He'd tried to buy a load of booze at the liquor store and came up short by ten cents. The cashier refused to be short-changed, and he figured the only reasonable reaction was to punch her in the face. FML

Drink up

By whyme - 31/05/2013 18:47 - United States - Crescent

Today, my friends and I went out for drinks. I'm the only one who's actually 21 or over, and they have fake IDs. Not only was I the only one to be carded, the bartender thought that my actual ID was fake. I got kicked out while my friends kept drinking. FML

Today, I went out drinking with my friends. At the end of the night I got a cab ride home. I must have passed out because when I woke up I wasn’t at my place, but my parent’s house, which is the address on my license…120 miles away. The fare was $220. FML

Smart move

By Triedtobecool - 06/04/2009 02:22 - Canada

Today, I went to buy beer underage for a party to impress a girl. I picked up the case of beer and went to the cashier, he ran it through without asking for ID. I left the store with a smirk on my face, I arrived at the party and showed the case to the girl. It was non-alcoholic. FML

Reality check

By DerrickUhl - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Napa

Today, I finally turned 21, so my friends and I decided to go to a club. There, I met this hot waitress and we were really hitting it off. I ordered a drink. She replied, "No problem, kiddo." FML

ok first of all if the guy is out of his car with it actually on why would it matter if he waited another 2 minutes to get you vodka. second of all if he said he was going to turn his car off why didnt you ask to hold the money until he came back. third of all you could probably just find someone with a fake ID if you were really that desperate to drink. YDI.

yes. CLEARLY you're under 21 if you know not to give some random guy 20 bucks to buy YOUR liquor. you just let him steal from you. then again, i'm only 13, and i ALREADY knew that.

Hahaha. Sucks for you. Pretty stupid thing to do though. Come and live in Holland, drinking age is 16 but they usually don't check. Actually think it makes more sense, people don't become all sad and desperate for alcohol, so they won't give their money to random strangers.

You absolutely deserve it for drinking underage. Seriously, I have no respect for people who drink under the age of 21.

#146: Calm the hell down, seriously. I drink but come on, its called a liquor cabinet. Or a fridge, seriously just take your 'rents if you really wanna drink. Asking a guy you DON'T know is just idiotic. But I live in New Orleans and when people buy Daquiris they buy for EVERYONE, so I still get to drink. You need a natural high, alcohol won't always be there.
