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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, it's my birthday. My dad was supposed to take me to get a tattoo, but instead he went to the bar, got drunk, and told me how I was the biggest mistake he and my mom have ever made. 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, 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. I got a call from my deadbeat dad, who I thought had finally mellowed and had something nice to say. Nope; he just told me I'm 21 years a disappointment, then hung up. FML
Today, it was my birthday, and even the person who seemed excited about me finally turning 21 and can legally drink forgot. Guess who got drunk alone tonight? This guy. FML
Today, is my 21st birthday. My friends took me to a bar to celebrate, knowing I don't drink. I'm now in charge of driving my friends home after they've had an awesome night. FML
Today, my dad had his 45th birthday and got so drunk he couldn't walk. He crawled along, crying, saying that his whole life was a failure because he had "a shitty job, a fat girlfriend, and a dipshit son who's never going to move out." I haven't moved out because I'm 18 and still at high school. FML
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
Today, my estranged father, who is a cop, decided to show up to my 17th birthday party. He immediately began arresting people for underage drinking. Way to mend fences, dad. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's exactly why I'm a virgin to this day. I'm afraid of becoming addicted to sex. Yeah. That's it.

Surely it's your choice if you did drink? Take it back and tell him to get out of your business.

How will you drive without your id

Alcoholism might run in your family. Ask about that. There is evidence that addiction issues can be inherited (depending on your body and brain chemistry, you can be more or less likely to develop an addiction to any given substance, be it alcohol, nicotine, or whatever). If so just be aware of that and govern yourself as you see fit. Of. If not, you still need to be careful - a lot of young people screw up big time with alcohol. You can unintentionally do something that does follow you around for life.

Yeah. Alcoholism runs in my family, too. I got a BIG old spiel from my dad about the "bug." Decided I was going to be a teetotaller, but now I think I'll just drink in moderation. (I have no desire to ever get drunk, because it just doesn't sound fun. I think on my twenty-first, I'll just watch other people get drunk and laugh.)

I'm pretty sure you deserve it. But only because you let your dad take your ID.

You have been an adult for 3 years, so move out of your parents house. If you have, man up and take your ID back. If he refuses, call the police. A few days in jail will do your Dad some good.

is it just me or is it retarded that the American drinking age is 21? so even most people in uni/college can't drink.

Your of age and haver ever right to drink if you want. He legally can't take your ID. Tell him you'll call the cops and report him for theft if he doesn't give it back.
