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 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

Where I am, the legal drinking age is 19. I was 6 months pregnant at the time so I went to a pub I ate at all the time and, since they had a restaurant side and then the bar side, sat on the bar side for the first time. I also did order a beer but my boyfriend at the time (who was also legal I did not order a drink for someone underaged) drank it. My waitress understood why I did it haha.

Kick their asses while they're drunk, then they'll have more then just a hangover in the morn while you prance around on the high that is revenge.

1. Not every town/city has taxis everywhere, if at all. And towns/cities not big enough for taxis all over the road are not necessarily small enough to be able to walk EVERYWHERE. I live in a city that has about 2 taxis that would take a long time to actually get there to pick you up and it would be way too far to walk to a lot of places. 2. Just because someone wants to be able to drink on their 21st birthday, it doesn't automatically mean they want to get wasted and not remember any part of the night. I'm 20 and rarely drink (usually it's actually with family, having a glass of wine or something like that) but I'd be pissed if I had to be the DD on my 21st! I'd just want to be able to have a couple drinks, not get plastered, so it'd be really inconsiderate of my friends if they showed up already drunk so I'd have to drive!

to all of u talkin about how easy it is to get a taxi i live in a city of over 100,000 people n its the 2nd biggest in my state population-wise. I've seen about 4 or 5 taxis my whole life here and im pretty sure like 3 of em were the same one. You also can't walk anywhere cuz every place is generally atleast 15 min away driving w/o hitting lights... so stfu

At least you had time to celebrate your birthday, and friends who wanted to celebrate it with you.

Hah, my father and his brothers were just talking about their 21st birthday parties. Basically, all theirs kinda sucked too, and they didn't get to drink a lot. It happens, OP.

**** that, I would have called someone else and gone or gotten a cab. On my 21st I made the mistake of starting out by drinking the fruity girly drinks because I had never gotten to have them before because at house parties no one made those. I had a few and felt like I was going to puke because of all the sugar and junk in them. I didn't even get tipsy on my 21st, yet I still thought I was going to throw up. It was sad.
