So I tried to go out to a club tonight with a couple of friends. Obviously, I'm not 21 yet, so I had a coupla drinks at home first - nothing major, like 2 shots or so.

So I walk into the place, get IDed and stamped and all that, and just as I'm going to pay some slut monkey stops me and asks how much I've had to drink. I just assume he smells it on me, so I'm honest and say "A little, maybe a couple of shots. Why?". And the guy says "Sorry, I can't let you in here - you're underage and have been drinking, and this is a public place."

I just say whatever, never heard of that one before but OK, and we leave, but that sorta pissed me off. What sort of stupid ****er does that ****, and what sorta stupid ****er would even enforce that, assuming it WAS a law?

If you truely drank only a little.....Your body makes efficent use of the alchohol

Yeah, I truly had maybe a shot and a half of Jack over ice. Oh, and a small glass of plum wine. This was over about 2.5 hours.

If they get inspected, and you're there, underage, and have alcohol on your breath, it's their liquor license that goes in the crapper.

That's the strange thing about the american and British situation IMHO, you guys go to the hard stuff immediately, while here young(er) kids just go for a couple of beers and that's it.
(Usually a beer to far, but hey, we all have to learn where our limits are

)

Who said it was a law? Maybe they just don't want underage drunks stinking up the place.

Actually I don't think that's accurate. AFAIK, in Texas, the TABC actually has to see them serving me in order to bust them. I could be wrong, but then again two of my friends who are bartenders told me that and have never heard of that law (which he said it was, DD), so I dunno.

DD, as to underage drunks stirring the place up, a)I was obviously not drunk, the people I was with, who hadn't been drinking couldn't believe anyone noticed b)why would they care anyway?

**Zylka** · May 31, 2003, 02:34

what

WHAT? THIS IS INDEED VERY WEIRD.

**Shi Huangdi** · May 31, 2003, 02:58

with laws that limit the freedom of adults to drink.

**David Floyd** · May 31, 2003, 02:59

Agree w/ Shi

It seems as though this sort of law would get thrown out as a violation of due process, but I guess the idiots running the courts are just that - idiots who pander to the commie mommies.

**Ted Striker** · May 31, 2003, 03:05

I think you need to stop whining

"commie mommies"
