Today, I turned 18. My parents gave me a card that read "now that you're 18, it's time for some boozy fun... you can do all the things you did before but legally!" Taped to the inside was my fake id that I "lost" three months ago. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I turned 17. My parents completely forgot it was my birthday, and when I reminded them, my dad thought it was my 18th. He was ecstatic and mentioned that I can "finally get the hell out." FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday and my dad has decided to take away my ID in fear that if I have even one drink to celebrate I'll become a raging alcoholic. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. My parents' gift was a case of non-alcoholic beer, to "prepare" me for when I "turn 21." My parents can't even remember how old I am. FML
Today, I turned 21 and had a huge party because I could finally drink legally. Got arrested for public intoxication. FML
Today, my parents gave me a sock and card for my eighteenth birthday. The card said, "Now that Dobby is free, get out." FML
Today, I got my fake ID and went out with the boys to dinner and the bars. One of my friends asked to see my ID. He noticed my birthday didn't make me over 21. I paid $170 for a fake ID with my real birthday. FML
Today, I went to a bar to celebrate my 26th birthday. I got ripped off by the bartender all night because she secretly gave me non-alcoholic versions of my drinks. Apparently I look like I'm 16, so she thought my ID was fake. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, I went to buy some beer using my fake ID, when the cute cashier and I started flirting. When he asked me how old I was, I said without thinking, "Nineteen." FML
Today, I celebrated my 18th birthday. Alone. My only birthday wish came from the police officer who gave me a ticket. FML
Today, I got a change of ID. My old ID had its corner cut off and was given a temporary paper ID. I went to a bar in another town to have some drinks. Turns out I couldn't because they couldn't use my old ID or my temporary one to let me drink, even though I'm 22. I've been there before and I work at my town's liquor store. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I never understood why people couldn't just wait until 18 to drink/smoke/etc. It's not exactly like waiting until you're 65 to retire. =/

At least you're not in the states where you have to be 21 to have some "boozy fun."

props #72 haha i hate how some americans just assume the rest of the world is exactly like them. i'm a proud (greek) american but i try to pay attention to how the rest of the world works ;) haha this is why i love greece. the drinking age is 16 but basically no one cares if you drink from the age of like 10. but no one rly gets drunk, because it's kind of declasse.

Yah, Canada it's 19, except Quebec and Alberta. :) And people can wait until they're leagal to drink. Me for example. I had my first drink on my 19th birthday. Not because I didn't think my body was magically ready for it at that age, but because I'm respecting the laws and not drinking illegaly. Also I've only had like maybe 5 drinks since. Honestly you don't need to drink to have fun. I have plenty of fun without being drunk, and I get to remember all that happened.

lets assume it is in the US. I would think it would be an FML if the parents thought it was his real ID.
