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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I ordered a beer with my parents at dinner. The waitress said, "Oh, happy 22nd birthday." My parents eyes got really big, and they started to blush. They'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML
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
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, 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, it's my twenty first birthday. My biggest birthday surprise was discovering that I'm alcohol intolerant, by vomiting my first beer all over my boyfriend's mother. 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 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, 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
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. 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

Go out and buy yourself some alcohol, get yourself completely wasted, and you won't even remember that they forgot.

Wouldn't that be soda?

Because the only difference between beer and soda is the alcoholic content...? WTF you on about? You ever had soda that tastes like beer?

If the only difference is the alcoholic content, if they gave him Non-alcoholic beer, then it would be soda

He did say SOME of his best times... Either way, by no means does that indicate that he lives in boredom. Even though psychoactive substances are a big part of my life, I have to agree that I've experienced some of my best times sober. I really appreciate the pure mental clarity.

Give them placebos to prepare them for their actual medication.

You should go buy some and chug a case in front of them. After you through with it, be like "what now?! BAM! I AM 21, bitches! I bought this myself! MYSELF!" and walk away. They will be mortified and feel bad all at the same time.

In europe its the age of 16... Just sayin'
iam_yummylicious 12
I like how "Europe" is a country. Seriously though in some COUNTRIES of the [CONTINENT] Europe the legal age is 18 or even 20. I also believe there are some countries without any age limit?
ShroomsOnAcid 17
Most (almost all) European countries have a lower age limit than the US, and even still it mostly applies to the purchase of alcohol. Drinking in private settings isn't as regulated. I've bought alcohol in several European countries while under the age limit, and I haven't been asked to provide proof of age. The most they've done was just ask me if I'm old enough to drink.
Benchyface 11
He never said Europe was a country, he just didn't specify the obvious. And the drinking ages in Europa varies from 14 to 18 for mild shit under 5% and then you have to be 20 to buy stronger thingies, at least in Norway. C:
iam_yummylicious 12
He said that all of Europe had an age requirement of 16, which is false. *shrug*

Go to your parents beer fridge, take all his beer and replace it with your non-alcoholic beer.
