I'm a very responsible drinker compared to the American stereotype of idiotic college kids -- one that has been well earned. I'm a big fan of just letting kids dumb enough to get alcohol poisoning die on the sidewalk. No need to waste tax dollars reviving them.
The drinking age here follows the same logic as abstinence only education. It's a fucking fraud, and it does much more harm than good. It's seen as the cool thing to do and the way for retards to gain the respect of their douchebag, meat head friends. Fucking dumb ass politicians.

Can't imagine how lame it'd be to have everyone wait till they were 21.. legal age should be 18 for alcohol imo

Dumbasses drink even more because it's seen as the cool thing to do by a lot of people. Then cock sucking local governments think it's an easy way to raise revenue and fuck people by trying to prosecute it. It should be 18, no question. The fucking hypocritical politicians that supported the 21-year old drinking age all drank when they were 18 (and probably younger). Once the generation of people that had to deal with the BS drinking age gain all the power (soon), maybe it will be repealed back to 18. We shall see.

Insane, you wouldn't believe it. It's not just a fine. It goes on your record. Usually you get required counseling and other shit. If you get caught driving with it, you're really fucked. They make you deal with a lot of shit if you get busted.
That's why I don't go out and act like an idiot. I rarely go to bars even. The college bars are so overrun by fucking dumbasses that it's barely enjoyable unless you're fucking tanked.
You should see the way they try to bust up high school parties. Raiding houses and shit. If I was going to get fucked with something, it would have happened then. I'm proud of myself for getting to this point without any charges. Not too many of my friends can say that. Come the 19th, I'm free and fucking clear (although they will still fuck you hard for a DUI).

I should be getting my court date in the mail in the next week for possession of an alcoholic beverage. I was pouring a bear outside the BCS Champ game and 3 cops walk up on me. Only a ticket and a promise to appear though. Since I don't live near Dade county I dont have to appear, only pay a fine. I would have been pissed If I was arrested when I spent over $1,000 for the trip. Sucks because my record was 100% clear before this bs and I turn 21 in June. It wont affect any law enforcement employment opportunities for me but I just don't want to explain it to them if it comes up. One of my professors actually told me that since its only a ticket it wont even show up on my record, but I'm not sure how true that is because Law Enforcement background checks are very in depth.

$500 Normally its much less though. Depends on the situation and how much you cooperate.
