it depends on who you hang out with

but for me, I drank for the first time at 16, when I got tipsy on rum while writing an essay for english class.
After that I didn't drink again until college, when I would routinely pay this 30 year old to bring me Smirnoff because I didn't go to many parties where I could get free booze

some do, some don't

I grew up in a conservative muslim household with a tight knit small muslim community so uh very skewed view. Also eldest daughter very rule follower golden child people pleaser. Also control freak with a fear of any form of loss of control (eg: being drunk). So no I did not drink a single sip of alcohol until 22 and even then it was one spritz, and not again since. I know some people in high school who drank, but I was in the honors classes and all my other golden child nerd friends didn't really. The ones who did usually drank with their parents like having a few sips of their wine or having a beer with the family kind of thing.
In high contrast, my younger sister, similar upbringing started drinking much earlier. I don't know too much about the early times we weren't close enough then, and maybe still aren't now, but she definitely drank in high school and partied regularly in college before she was 21, I want to say starting at 16/17. Not completely sure. But definitely way more than I could've ever wrapped my head around at that same age.

Getting drunk at medieval times

This was an unexpected slay they pour their drinks pretty heavy-handedly so I was pretty well set off 2 large drinks. It made the whole experience so much more fun as an adult. I forced my whole family to dress up to go w me for my birthday (I’m 23 now woohoo!!!!!!🎉 ) and we were the ONLY ONES dressed up 😭 the liquor definitely helped. It also made cheering for the knights more fun. I think it’s probably important to relive your middle school field trip spots as an adult to truly appreciate how fun some stuff is now that you’re no longer a too-cool teenager

ENDING SENTENCES WITH ELLIPSES LIKE A BOOMER

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
