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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

wow... what a bunch of pricks saying 'ydi for being underage' lol no he deserves it for letting the fella go to his car... that was just stupid. But are you really such sticklers for stupid laws? I just checked, and there's only 6 other countries in the world with a limit of 21 years... none of them developed countries.

Did you seriously just say that she doesn't deserve it because she's breaking a "stupid" law? The age limit of 21 is not stupid...drinking alcohol in general is stupid. Of course, I'm not condemning people who do drink alcohol from time to time, but alcohol causes serious medical issues. The age limit of 21 prevents teenage kids from drinking before their brains are even fully developed.

#346 so why is the drinking age in the US higher than the drinking age elsewhere? Are you saying that an American guy's brain develop slower than anyone elses? See, the legal drinking age is total crap
reptileguy1296 0
They're not saying that Americans' brains develop slower, simply that the age should probably be higher globally. Multiple studies have shown alcohol consumed even before 25 has a severe effect on the brain's development. But why do you need studies to tell you the obvious? I fail to see how ingesting that inhibits brain function, causes nausea, and creates a weak immune system among other things is a good idea.

Here in Canada its 18.

A law is a law. I confidently clicked YDI right after reading, "Today, my friend and I wanted to get some alcohol (we're under 21)" I didn't need to go any further.

No it's not you fucktard! It's 19 in the majority of provinces. 18 in Quebec and Alberta.

#349 - No, she's saying that our country is more developed than others and we know the effects alcohol has on the brain.
malait 23
It's 18 here in Europe and we're fine (;

The legal age is perfect because we dont want stupid children getting drunk
NandersTheFox 22
Isn't the brain nearly completely developed at about 6 because it grows rapidly at early stages of life. That is why the tops of babies heads are soft because their brains have enough space when it is growing quickly so It doesn't hit the skull. It is maybe more of liver problems or other things.

What do you mean by "in Europe" as if it was one country.

Everyone on this post acts like they were angles and saints when they were in high school.. Really, nobody partied or got drunk between the ages of 15-21, I find that hard to believe.. So you're all hypocrites when you say they deserved it, because most of you have all been in the same situation, and would have been pissed to if you got ripped off 20$.. Not saying they didn't deserve it , but I'm not saying they did

Where the **** do you live where every does that

415- i never got drunk and i only went to one party where my sister and i stayed sober and didnt do drugs and left early because we were bored. Im in university now and i still dont party, drink, or anything like that. please dont generalize
StillUsesMyspace 22
415, I said YDI because they asked a stranger, not just because they're underage

I want an acute angle:)

I was acute angle in high school. :)
Luke1787 6
you ******* must've had a shitty ****** childhood if you never participated in underage drinking. besides, who the **** are you to judge OP? are you perfect?
lil_ham1644 29
You realize it's possible to have fun without the help of alcohol right? I like to remember the good times I've had and not be embarrassed to tell people that I got drunk & passed out somewhere
KitchKraft 21
I'm pretty sure not ******* up the rest of your life is a lot more fun of a childhood than being a douche that needs the help of drugs and alcohol, despite knowing the facts of how harmful they are, to have a good time with a bunch of other douches.

Haha:) seriously YDI for trusting a random stranger with $20 and for trying to drink under 21. If your going to do something illegal, can't you at least be smart about it?! Don't ask a random guy outside of a liquor store to buy you vodka! Oh well, at least you learned something:) maybe that sudden loss of cash took away some of your stupidity.
