A Tavern? does it have a comley serving wench, ale served in hollow rams horns, and a crazy old wizard in the corner by the fire?

[floppydisk]

And hobbits. Don't forget hobbits.

Well, remember, all of the law makers think that the legal drinking age is 21 over here. We're old enough to go get killed to line their pockets with gold, but we can't line our own with bottles of liquor.

Some day they will realize that the law has absolutely no signifigance to anyone. Stupid hypocritical US laws.

[floppydisk]

Oh, you live in the US? Where's RIT? Is that Rhode Island Tech?

[Jane Sherwood]

Funny, I had always thought the legal drinking age in Louisiana was eighteen, but apparently something must have changed in the past few years. I never really kept up with that kind of thing, to be honest. But this state's the home of Mardi Gras and "Let the good times roll!" (only they normally say it in French or Cajun or scream "Iiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!"), so everyone drinks anyway (at least at parties and stuff).

I was once at an event and made a comment about how everyone was drinking, and got called nun.

I was always under the impression that the US let you drink beer and stuff at 18, but not spirits until you're 21. Guess hollywood's lied to me again.

[Slade]

That's harsh Jane. They should be respecting your right to not drink. Although it does take the edge off of the harsh cold knife that is reality for a little while. To each his or her own, I say.

Floppy: Yes indeedy. I live in the ever grey-skied Central New York, but I'm currently in college at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. I have a brother who lives in Cape Coral/Fort Meyers.

Laugh: No, it's very illegal to drink at 18. All alcohol is lumped together. It's just that no one gives any thought to the law, present poster included.

There's a law?
What's a law?

Seriously, I thought that knocking off the people who aggravated me, burying them in quicklime over the state border and then coming back home to a healthy grogfest in a stolen car was fine... cursed laws.

Why would you go to the trouble of burrying them in quicklime interstate, if you weren't afraid of getting arrested? Zing!

The Tav lacks hobbits and mead(and good beer, for that matter). But it does have wenches. Who seem to have a natural dislike for me. Or perhaps thats just a reflection of my discomfort with the environment. Or because I refuse to drink they crappy beer they sell.

[SimeSublime]

And I forgot to add, Jane, that what they said was harsh. Nothing wrong with not drinking. A little fun at your expense is expected, but nun is taking it too far. Shame on them.

[Laughlyn]

(*Snerk!*) nun. I'm going to have to use that one myself sometime.

No, seriously. A quick flip through the posters on this thread reveals I'm older than any of you, and allowed to drink by the laws of the land. There was a time too when I did not touch the evil stuff (long ago, when we still ahd a black and white TV). If you don't want to drink, it's you're choice, smile at the insults, and turn up at their dorm window at 3am dressed as a nun and carrying a fire axe.

[floppydisk]

Jane would totally go for that.

[Jane Sherwood]

Yes. Yes I would.

Other benefits to being a non-drinker:

1) Designated driver; Every ale swilling posse needs one. Guarentees you a place at parties, and potential conversation with other DD's.

2) Safer dating; Should you wake up in the morning in bed with a member of the opposite sex (or the same sex, depends which way you butter your bread really), you'll remember their name, and exactly what it was that you found attractive about them in the first place.

3) Evil genuis; Drunk people are the perfect target for manipulation, so if you enjoy causing carnage, a few well placed suggestions go a long way to creating an evening entertainment.

[Jane Sherwood]

If I was the designated driver, they'd be better off letting the drunks drive. I don't know how to drive and haven't even practiced in well over a year!
