Today, is my 21st birthday. My friends took me to a bar to celebrate, knowing I don't drink. I am now in charge of driving my friends home after they had an awesome night. FML

so then because you didn't drink you didn't have a good time ??? I thought people that don't drink usually go by the motto that they don't need to drink to have a good time ...

exactly. Driving to different bars and hanging out can be as fun if you're old enough to get in you don't have to drink to have a good time. (though it does help, especially at weddings...especially when said wedding is placed in a winery and you're only 19 so you can't drink, and when you try everyone who works there stares at you as your cousin (the groom) and his friends try to sneak beer and wine to you, until you're just like "no, fuck it, they're watching me" and you already have that pseudo-buzz that's like "if i don't drink more i'm gonna be mighty annoyed" in other words, I bet I had less fun at my cousin's wedding than you had at your fun times bar hopping so suck it up pussy.)

To add to 36, some people /can't/ drink for medical reasons. Lots of medications can't be mixed with alcohol, and some conditions like Type 1 diabetes make drinking dangerous. I used to be a beer and wine enthusiast, but I can't be anymore. :[
I agree that you can have fun at a bar without drinking; I do it often. However, it does suck to be the only sober one if everyone else is just out to get trashed and act like an idiot, rather than spend time together.

this is going to be me in May. All my friends can't wait since I don't drink and if I do I only have one since I don't really like the taste of alcohol.
So far I can stand a cherry lifesaver but I like cherry.

I don't think anyone follows the rules in terms of the drinking age. even in Saskatchewan it's 19 and ppl are drinking by the time they're 16

Perhaps OP has a reason that they do not drink. I will not be drinking on my 21st birthday. My mother was an alcoholic, and when drunk was awful. I don't want to be like that, even for one night. I still can't even comfortably be around people who are drunk. I'm hoping some day I can get over that, but even then, I wont be drinking.

the drinking age in Alberta is 18 she's been legal for a while and FYI the US has the highest drinking age in the world

The legal drinking age is 21. Anyone who wants to drink finds a way around it (fake ID, illegal booze, friends over 21, etc.) And so honestly your 21st birthday anymore is meaningless. Anyone who's going to celebrate "being able to drink" has already been drunk before. Anyone who doesn't want to drink actually probably dreads their 21st birthday because of something happening like with OP. I am one of said people dreading my 21st lol

Legal drinking age in Alberta is 18! And I am quite certain OP has already had a license to drive long ago. It didn't come in the mail as a 21st birthday present! I call fake FML.

Sorry to hear that #65. There has been alcoholism in my family too (it killed my uncle) which is why I don't drink very much, only occasionally. But just know that not all people are like your mom, a good many people can drink responsibly & act respectfully. I congratulate your decision to break the cycle & to live better than the example your mom set!

Or you should have put them all in a bathtub filled with ice and removed a kidney from each of them for the black market. That would show them. Plus you could make a nice profit.

There's loads of reasons the OP wouldn't want to drink. It could be because his/her religion prohibits alcohol, they could have diabetes, the OP could be like me and be alcohol intolerant.
