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

Sting

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

Let em in

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

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

Rofl... I know you've probably already got this, and you're young so I can forgive you, but honestly, did you believe he was going in to get the alcohol?

Wow, the old 'I just got to get something...from my car...' *sound of running, door slamming, engine noise* If you're that prohibitively stupid when you're sober it's probably a blessing that you didn't get any vodka

Lol! YDI, if your underage get someone you know and trust. Not some random stranger, your lucky he wasn't a UC cop! Even worse ... Why not try something better than trying to get beer or drugs. If you failed this time. Guess your just not supposed to get what you wanted. Try staying in school a few more years!

If you're stupid enough to fall for that, you're too stupid to drink. Grow some patience and wait til you're of legal age.

#141.... it wouldnt even need to be an undercover. Simply an off-duty officer, or anyone else who felt obligated to bust these easy targets. A transaction was already made (you have to take a step towards committing the crime, ie: the money). All they would have had to do was walk in and buy it, hand it to the kids, and the second they touched it, bam. Arrested minors. haha. Officers drink too, and I know we have a large department in my hometown... you always see them in public. So, it's not completely absurd to think, like 141 said, that it could have been an undercover, an off-duty, or anyone else in the corrections field. Oh silly youth..... I personally didn't drink until I was 21, simply because I figured it wasn't worth it. I had too many friends who got busted in HS/ college and now they are basically being blacklisted from different fields of work (such as Law Enforcement or Education). Not saying that everyone will get caught every time, but for me, it wasn't a risk I was willing to take. And I still have plenty of fun now when I go out with my friends, and we've been of age for a few years now. I don't regret it at all. But if that's a risk you're willing to take, I'm not gonna judge. But I'm also not going to feel bad if/ when you get screwed because of it.
