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

Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends showed up at my house already drunk, so I had to be the designated driver. FML

Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML

My 21st birthday

Today, my parents took me to a bar to celebrate my 21st birthday. They brought my little brother, but when the bouncer wouldn't allow him in, they made me wait outside with him while they went in for drinks. 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 was the designated driver for my friend's 21st birthday. On the way home from the bar, he threw up all the pasta and tequila he'd had onto the back seat of my car, and told me it was part of his whole party plan. FML

Today, it's my birthday and my friends and I went to our favorite pub to celebrate. As I'm a little broke at the moment, they all offered to buy me birthday drinks. Which I later learned meant that they would order them for me and bring them to the table, but put everything on my tab. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday. The only person who drank with me was my elementary school principal, who I happened to run into at a bar where we were the only two people there. FML

A night to remember

Today, it was my 21st birthday. My roommate insisted her friend join us. They both got belligerently drunk while I was pretty sober. We ended the night at 12am with her friend violently sobbing at the bar over her boyfriend, while I played Subway Surfers. Yay. FML

I still say the term "Friends" needs to be re-defined.

2- 5 and 16 are right, not all people listen to the drinking age. personally, I don't drink underage, but I know people that do.

Like others have said, you don't need to drink to have a good time. However, your friends doing that obviously wasn't very considerate, but you could have made the best of the situation.

Okay so on your birthday, it would be okay to take you somewhere where you feel uncomfortable so your friends can have a good time. Maybe op didn't really want to baby sit and then play taxi service for a bunch of drunk retards. Happy Birthday op! Go have fun your way and forget about your loser friends.

Um there's something fishy about this isn't the legal age to drink in Canada 19. last time I checked it was.

Nowhere in the FML does it say that they were celebrating his ability to legally drink, it just says that they celebrated his 21st birthday at a bar.

that's usually the reason you make such a big deal about celebrating your 21st though, so i can see how anyone would assume that. besides, its probably another made up fml.

Wow so what if she doesn't drink? Respect that. This is just like sex after marriage. I'm GONNA drink and not wait for marriage, but I respect everyone who does. Just because you drink and 'it's so awesome', doesn't mean everyone is gonna like it.
