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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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 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

Thank you for being a friend
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

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, 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 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 turned 21 and had a huge party because I could finally drink legally. Got arrested for public intoxication. 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

Well, why did she? They obviously got there fine enough drunk, and you don't need to get back home as you're already there. So can't you just drink at home instead of going out?

Ever heard of a cab, jackass?

It's less about the drinking and more about being able to buy the alcohol yourself. Kind of like how you've probably already been driving when you get your license, but the license makes it official.

Buses are cheaper, and almost everywhere.

Most places have a taxi service, even if you don't see a lot of taxis. I hardly ever see them around my town, but people can call them and they will come get you. Unless you live somewhere in a town with a population of like 2,000 people or less you should be able to get a taxi.

god #56 i totally agree, when you reach the age of 21 you realize that there are far more important things in you're life than getting shitty drunk. Instead the OP should make his friends all kick in 10 or 20 bucks for a big sack of weed and the OP should get stoned and drive because as of yet in my state at least they can't even do roadside tests for pot so if you can just act sober they cant touch you. At least thats what i got from your post and i agree 100% binge drinking is childish

You might need new friends... But hey, if they're already drunk, you'll spend less money on whatever it is you decide to do!

If it's that much of a problem and it's a FML, she'd surely pay.

You're only 21 once, watching all your friends get drunk while you stay sober is surely reason enough to pay for one? Plus if you all pay towards a taxi it isn't really expensive at all now is it? Douchebag!

If she's from a small enough area there might not be available taxis.
