I have a full liquor cabinet filled with booze just for cooking. When people see how much alcohol I have they are surprised because they know I don't drink.

Come to Canada OP. drinking age is 18 and 19. Fuck Amurrikkka and their stupid 21 to drink.

Meantime buy yourself a good book about wine, like HJ's Wine Encyclopedia and start reading. You'll own bitches when you drink wine and know exactly whats what. Read the whole thing a few times and wine will make a lot more sense.

Plus you wont get chumped at restaurants.

Also, smell everything you can. Fruits, vegetables, things. Remember those smells. Your nose has a finite number of things you can smell, after that they repeat. Best way to learn how to describe a wine.

Do you have your own transportation? I think the reason for the higher age is because here we get to drive at 16 and most teens have their own cars (or use their parents') so it's more of a drunk driving issue. But 21 is the age you can buy it, not the age you can start drinking. Depending on the city, there is no minimum age limit as long as it is in your own house.

Thing I find most irritating is that there isn't a country-wide drinking age in the US. Regulations such as that are meant to be relegated to the states, many of which would probably have a drinking age (well, legal purchase age) of 18.

The federal government gets around that, though, by using "OMG TEENS DRUNK DRIVING" as an excuse to deny highway funding to any state that doesn't make it illegal for under-21's to buy alcohol.

Hell, even now most states don't prohibit even minors (under 18) from consuming alcohol. For example, here in Texas anywhere you're allowed to drink yourself (restaurant, home, etc.) your kids can drink too, as long as they're with you and have your approval.

Wasn't till 1984 that the feds started pulling funding, and it took till 1988 for all the states to be strong-armed into complying.

>> No.3946227

Here there are government owned liquor store with monopoly on selling any beverage above 3.5%.
You have to be 20 to buy from those stores and 18 to buy drinks at pubs/bars/clubs. Drinks at clubs etc are always several times more expensive than buying from the stores.

18 to drink, 18 to drive, 15 to fuck, 20 to buy from liquor stores

New Zealand master race reporting. I started buying alcohol when I was 14, drinking age is 18 but no one cards. At least they didn't used to but they started a few years back after some TV sting operations.

Also, I went to college in both countries and the difference between the two is noticeable. In NZ, by the time kids get to college they've already been drinking for about three years, so they know their limits. Literally everyone drinks to excess all the time, but people have had enough practice that by the time they are at college they can handle their booze. Kiwis actually drink pretty responsibly compared to most other nations I've been to.

In the states however many kids get to college and have never had a drop of alcohol in their life. Suddenly they have access to it and no parents to worry about so a lot of them get seriously fucked up in their first few weeks. That shit isn't safe.

I think its better for kids to be first exposed to alcohol while they're at home so that they are more likely to drink responsibly when they get to college.

Pretty sure people in the South start drinking while in the womb if you know what I mean. There just seems to be lower self control even if you did drink earlier. That's because of peer pressure. All the morons are getting pissed drunk so if you want to be a cool kid at the party you have to stupid like that too.

No, people drink early in the South because the South is a flagrant shithole and booze is pretty much the only thing people have left.
