    I think the drinking age of 21 here in the States is absolutely stupid.

    18 - you can buy cigarettes (except in Utah...and Alabama as far as I know. You must be 19)
    18 - You're considered an adult and can be charged as one
    18 - You can enlist in the military.
    18 - You CANNOT buy a fucking beer.

    Drinking age in Ontario is 19... Was drunk for the first time at 15.

    I had my first drink at age 14 or 15.. I didn't regularly drink until about 23 or 24.. Now I drink daily. It's good for the heart. 8-)

    Although I accidentally gulped my grandmas guinness when I was a bout 4 thinking it was pop.. does that count?

    When I was 4 I drank a 1.5 litre bottle of Babycham thinking it was pop :oops:

    We were allowed to drink with meals from about the age of 10 at home. We always had wine and it was mixed with lemonade. I started going out to drink when I was 16 with my parents consent. I went through a phase of drinking everyday and going out binge drinking 4-5 times a week when I was about 23/24 but now I tend to only drink at weekends and well within my unit limit. I try to drink wine or beer (I love real ale and world beers) but occasionally i'll have a G&T.
    I drink wine or beer daily, but I rarely binge drink. Usually 3 sometimes 4 drinks before bed.. fights the insomnia.

    I'm the same way like to have a couple drinks before bed, I find it relaxes me.

    My sister is currently living in Greece, she told me the other day that she's looking to learn to drive while she's there, and that it is quite acceptable for people to pay extra money as a bribe to the examiner and they will pass you?! Crazy!

    I went on a school trip to Italy when I was about 14, and we had no problems buying beer, I think the laws in Europe in general are fairly relaxed when it comes to drinking.

    I was always allowed a small glass of wine a special occasions as a kid. Got drunk for the 1st time at 14. The legal age used to be 20 here and changed to 18 just after I turned 18. Legally though everyone who looks 25 or under must be IDed. It made my day at the supermarket last week when the checkout girl asked to see my ID when I was buying a bottle of wine!

    Me too...but I didn't drink that much until I was old enough to get into bars. With the exception of the odd high school bush party

    Legal drinking age in Oz is 18yo, legal age to buy smokes is 18yo, then getting drivers licence...well it varies between the states. QLD you can get your learners at 16yo, then go for provisional licence at 17 and hold that for 3years and have zero Blood alcohol.

    But back original question....nope know no=one who has waited till "legal" drinking age.

    By proper time, I assume you mean like 6 in the morning?

    I was talking with a friend and we realized neither one of us knows of, or even heard of, anyone who didn't drink before the legal age. I am guessing we are not alone.
