For all your youthful life, at least your teens, most males look forward to the day they can legally walk into a bar and get a drink. That's what I looked forward to, however it was almost seven months AFTER my 21st that I got the opportunity to hobble into a bar in Tacoma and get a legal drink. I spent my 21st ass deep in mud in the delta. What can I say, I wasn't the first, only, or last service-member (had to change that from GI cuz that's happened to other's in other lands too and to our lady troops as well) that's happened to (sigh).

feeling REAL old.
But wasn't the drinking age 18 in most states back then? I remember DC changed their age to 21 in the mid-80s!
