[RickJamesBish]

LET ME DRINK!

[D-Man]

RJB.... Drunk...

Scary thought.

[RickJamesBish]

No, listen, with the PM's I get from you...you'd be a lot worse. A LOT worse, albeit entertaining.

[D-Man]

oh man, i should totally get your phone number and drunk dial you on Christmas I'd ruin you're whole day.

[RickJamesBish]

That **** would be turrible! Turrible!

Hahahaha. Drunk dials, are no good. drexts are worse tho. Drunk texting is a no no, I wake up in the morning and its bad what I say to people. Funny but bad.

But anyway the real drinking age doesn't real stop anyone, I was drunk every night this weekend. But hey its Christmas break? Anyone here really into beer pong? I think i'm getting a table for Christmas.

i find it stupid that at 18 your allowed to join the military, risk dieing or killing another person... yet not be allowed to drink?

my buddy was in iraq at 20 and when home on leave, couldnt get a drink at the bar... Either lower the drinking age or raise

the enlistment age. If your grown up enough to decide to risk your life, you should be allowed to drink

[forkee]

joining the military at a young age has no proven detrimental side effects on the body

people at any age always have a choice of killing themselves or others. you dont have to join the army.

i would think it a good thing that you can still obtain liquor (from a second party) at an age lower than the legal drinking age but are people complaining about that? can you illegally join the army before you're old enough? no. so alcohol wins that battle. imagine what it would be like if you can only drink at bars, and every single time you would have to scan your fingerprint and take a breath test to show you're still capable of driving, thereby virtually eliminating drunk driving.

freedom is great. we get to do whatever we want. if its against the law, at least we have a choice to make that decision. if you go to jail, its nobody's fault but your own.

if you want to join the army young, fine go ahead. but i have no sympathy if you want to drink just because you're in the army and still under 21. and if any soldier under 21 has any beef about wanted to drink but crying about not being able to legally, then they don't have any self discipline and shouldn't even be in the army in the first place.

being in the army is about being all that you can be, with a clear mind, and a clear body to defend our nation. drinking should be the last thing on your mind.

Sorry skipped alot, if your in the military to drink I think. If not forget it , your not worthy yet.

No, I was never in the military.

...i would think it a good thing that you can still obtain liquor (from a second party) at an age lower than the legal drinking age but are people complaining about that? can you illegally join the army before you're old enough? no....

But you can get ahold of illegal guns and run around shooting people. There is a man standing at the conaco at the corner of this block that'll sell me a pistol for $40-$60. No problem. It'll take him a day or two (MAX), but he'll get it for me. and that's not just a texas thing... illegal guns are illegal everywhere, and equily accessable. So yeah, its kinda like an illegal military.

Illegal military = Colombine
Illegal drinking = 18 year olds drooling and goofing off.



EDIT: Sever, PM me your phone number, I've still got tequila. I'll totaly drunk dial you

you do have an excelent point, i was just thinking from the perspective of, the government considers you old enough, and responsible enough to make a life changing decision... (military) but considers you too immature to make a potential life changing decision (drink alcohol). You are pretty much an adult at 18 when it comes to laws (ex. criminal acts, moving out, etc.) i just never understood why drinking age is 3 yrs later.

also, my friend wassnt complaining, it was just my observation... In my head (never mentioned it to him) i was thinking, here is a dude who was shot at, nearly killed by an IED but is not allowed to purchase alcohol lol just seemed funny to me...

but i guess its probly better to some degree... just glad it dont get in my way no more
