Well compared to most here I got a late break on things, since I was already 18 by the first time I got drunk. It was after my brother's wedding, and the groomsmen and bridal party and some others got together afterwards. I had a few shots of Jack and a few beers. I then went on to compile a list of a ten or so observations about being drunk (the only one I can now remember is "Walking isn't difficult, but it sure is different."), hit on a girl that I barely knew relentlessly (and wound up dating her a few months later), and generally acted like an ass. Of course, no one there took to much notice since my two older brothers got extremely hammered, got involved in a drinking contest, nearly got in a fist fight, then puked all over the back yard, and much of the front. One passed out in the middle of a brush pile that had been left on the curb for pickup, and the other crashed in one of the few green spots left in the lawn. Ah, good times.

So it truly is a good thing they didn't come to our wedding, isn't it? They'd have had to have drunk just to get through it to begin with.
