I've lost count of the amount of times I've "given up" drinking (usually every other weekend for the last two years) But it sounds like your son might have a few more brains than me... hehe

You can only drink when you're 21?! In NZ you can buy alcohol when you're 18. And before then its pretty easy to find someone to buy it for you...not the I drink though.

LOL I only quit once...when an auto accident damaged one of my kidneys at the age of 24...prior to that I was a steady drinker (almost daily from the age of 17 with the exception of the nine months I carried my son, the smell alone made me sick lol) and I loved every minute of it. I was one of those people who could drink heavily, still drive home and wake up feeling fine. Not to say I've never had a hangover..I can tell you that half of a fifth of Jack Daniel's is not going to go well with a glass of Gin & tonic later and that you can drink too many wine coolers!

Scholarcs,
The legal drinking age has been raised since I was young(er

).
I don't remember when it went to 21 nationwide. It used to be 21 in some states, 19 in others and in others still, 18 for 3.2% beer and 21 for 6% beer and liquor.
I had the priveledge of being in one state when it was legal at 19 and in another where it was 21 so I got to have two "legal-drinking-age" parties! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
