Remember those old guys? They made epic renders, I think one of them was called DaVinci, and all they used was MS Paint. Sometimes it's just skill....

And this is the point where Lazerus requests that he be renamed as Judas.

And thus, lazerus rose from the dead.

I don't drink alcohol because I'm too young, but it's hardly immoral to drink it. It's not like its hurting anyone but yourself, sometimes not even that.

The bottom line is: Any action taken by consenting adults should be legal. No victims = no crime.

There are around 40,000 alcohol-related deaths in the United States alone, each year. No, I'm not against drinking by any means; but much like a loaded gun, alcohol can present a danger to others if there's an idiot on the other side of the bottle

I myself have never been ID'd for anything (I havent tried to get tabs or alcohol btw) But my friend who is 15 managed to get a few bottles of cider without being id'd by anyone.

Im not against drinking alcohol either much like alot of you guys. As a matter of fact, i have 3 friends over this weekend for my birthday and we have 6 litres of cider some apple sours and some lager

I have only drunk on the street twice. Once in a field and once at a park. Technically i shouldnt have had my name etc.. taken down the second time since i drank around 5 hours earlier and wasnt tipsy then and i didnt smell like drink (I changed clothes and had tea).so ive decided drinking outside or being with outside drinkers is a bad idea...

Let that be a lesson on to all of you younguns. Dont drink without your parents/carers permission or outside all together!

I thought that I had hit the jackpot years ago when I was ID'd at age 48 when going into Typhoon Lagoon at Disney World in Florida at a private booking. I was walking in wearing nothing but a bathing suit, having gray hairs on my chest and on my head, and generally looking at least my actual age. I felt complimented at being proofed.

Recently, at age 61, I have been ID's at some major chains when buying a cigarette lighter. I now have a white beard, white/gray hair, facial wrinkles, no teeth. a back brace and a cane. I no longer feel complimented. Rather, I feel as though the check-out jobs are given in the following manner: they hold a mirror under your nose, and if it fogs you are worthy to be hired.

The law in my end of the universe is that if a sales clerk perceives you to be under 27, they must ID you. In my opinion, if a sales clerk perceives me to be under 27 they should not be telling me to produce ID, they should be telling me to see a doctor.

I agree with most of what you said, except for this, Seppuku:

Quote: "Plenty of people drink alcohol responsibly and also, plenty get drunk responsibly."


I don't think you can get drunk responsibly.

I think you can It's the difference between getting drunk in the middle of a public park, or at your own home. Responsibility is in where and how you get drunk.

Being a responsible drunk when I'm on a night out, I beg to differ, there's a level of drunkeness where you're still able to control your actions - if you know you shouldn't do something, you've the control and you even know when to stop drinking and lead you and everybody else home safely.

I can wake up in the morning knowing I've not regretted anything...except if I've said anything embarrassing, but only stuff I can laugh off (it's not as if I don't do it sober either). My flatmate during my first year at Uni still can't remember what happened the night he went 'overboard', I can, police were knocking on my door at the early hours of the morning seeing if I could help them figure out what he was saying. I can say, the guy's learned his lesson about what a 'responsible' drunk is, I mean, it could have been a lot worse.



Also, I think Jeff Miller wins.

I used to go to the park and get drunk with my friends as young as 13 or 14. We didn't make noise near people's houses, we didn't break things, never got violent with anyone or each other.

Alcohol isn't the problem it's the people who drink it, if there was no alcohol there would still be violent out of control morons, alcohol just makes them think that they are right to act like that.

I really don't like the way people go out to get as drunk as possible until they puke everywhere or pass out. I've done that once or twice and it was horrible. Tipsy FTW!

I'm not trying to, and I'm sorry if that way of proving a point was insensitive.

I'm not underage, though I don't drink or smoke (just not my thing) and my fiancee is three years older than me... When it was her turn to pick up the Guinness for our old roommate Montana (he's been gone for about a year and a half, thank goodness) she got carded all the time (mainly since she (and I) look so horribly young!

This is us a few years ago (She's 21 here):



This is us now:



I know I wouldn't sell booze to us if I saw us
