Easy, I don't live in America. =D Yet again I don't drink either anyway and have to put up with certain zombie survival games getting banned, along with many other games.

Explain to me what the rush to get smashed is again? I have never seen the great awsomeness to putting yourself in a state where your unable to do anything, or even think straight...

EDIT: also it's damn expensive
Play a game of Katamari while intoxicated and come back to me.

Half the things you listed are fucking stupid. Destruction of internal organs, including the liver, is never a form of utilizing life. What good are any of the even remotely good things that you listed when you don't fucking remember it afterward, especially the "having stories" bullshit? "A jolly at the expense of a friend"? That friend was probably canooing up Shit Creek when he met you, especially considering the usual sense of humor amoungst drunks.

Alchohol is a bane upon the human race and I would sooner take out a sword and castrate a "party animal" than accept his beer. If I'm going to live a healthy life, why not promote a healthy gene pool?
Wow, what brought on this attitude? I'm glad my sober ass isn't this hostile towards drinkers. I've had some friends do some extremely stupid things under the influence of alcohol, and even had one go into a coma and pass away (RIP Jon Haren, you're still missed :( ), but I hope I never have the same attitude you have.

Instead of taking a dickish hardline stance against alcohol, why don't you be constructive. You're not going to stop people from drinking, so make them more responsible. I used to keep people's keys so they wouldn't drive if they drank to much. I've stopped people from drinking when I felt they've had enough. And I will always willingly be the designated driver (I wish I knew what happened to my DD Pin I got from Ruby Tuesdays (not the chain) on The OSU campus).

I love being Australian. 18+ FTW :)

N.B I say this as I come back from my best friends 18th (I already am) where I spent the majority of my time looking after drunk 17 years olds -_-

um fine i actuarially hate alcohol
And spelling.

On topic, I agree. Either I'm bizarre or I don't see the appeal in ingesting mind-altering toxins I have the pay for.
Haha, good one.

OT: Im 16 and I live in England. I have a pint of cider pretty much every day with my parents permission, and I enjoy it.
Then I drink larger with my mates. (Not every day.) However I've only been drunk twice, but that was when I first started.

Meh, the same as over here in britain, illegaly. Although I don't drink really, so I don't really care. Kinda makes the party I went to even more hilarious, as I can remember EVERYthing.

I remember everything anyway, though being able to use that age-old excuse of "I was drunk, so I don't remember, which gets me off the hook" is a great advantage.

Good point. It is harder to get away with stuff when your sober. Oh well, they hopefully won't remember it ;)

Quite easily, actually.
Having no social life and a disdain for people who do drink early due to said people usually being obnoxious about it definitely helps, too.
I'm Canadian, but this would be my answer.

Ours is 19, and most of the people who drink before that age (14-year-olds in my class and such) are obnoxious pricks, so it leaves a bad taste in my mouth just looking at them.

EDIT: Besides, there may be some good alcoholic beverages, but alcohol itself smells awful to me, so I take a regular lemonade over a hard one, 19 or not.

I assure you if someone really wants to drink they won't give a fuck about the law. I am a living example. I got drunk for the first time when I was 12. In Greece the legal drinking age is 18 (I think).

This, every underage person I meet is such a total douchebag, same with smoking.

My father quit smoking cold turkey a few months ago, and I didn't even notice, he took it like a man. But yeah, also, this girl asked me for cigarettes in the park one time (like I have any, what world does she live in?). At first glance, I could've sworn she was around... 30. Then I saw her in the 7th grade neighbourhood (that's what we call the class areas), opening her locker.

I shuddered.

Here in America, we only drink until we think were 21! Then it becomes legal. Now pass me another pint *hic*
