Being 21 in NYC for college, lent NO benefit over every other college student.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

You know what's really funny? Other than the time my car died for good, this is the longest I've ever had a car at the mechanic's. And it is for something mechanically piddly, not like needing a new clutch or something.
And it is the one time I have been given a loaner.
Which is good, because I would be batshit insane without it at this point.

“Not dead yet!”
Being in Chiefs, specifically in the trumpet (Screech Squad) section in college, we veered between kegs, coolers, and most commonly at Chiefs' parties, Hairy Buffalo, which was like Purple Jesus, except hairier.
Gotta love college in the south.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
My last semester of high school I was 18, so I could drink legally.
Me too, until I was 20 and then they switched to 21 without grandfathering us in.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Hairy Buffalo
Oh, lord. There are many nights I can't remember, thanks to Hairy Buffalo. (Made with Everclear, which was illegal in Ohio, so people would drive to Indiana to buy it, along with beer at low low Indiana prices.)

Also illegal in Florida, so we'd drive up to Georgia to get it. Ha!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My last semester of high school I was 18, so I could drink legally.
I turned 18 in November of my senior year and could drink legally for most of the year. Not hard stuff. Just beer and wine coolers. Not a bad deal for a high school senior.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That is cool. Way-cool, in fact.

Bastards!
In WI, the drinking age went from 18 to 19, and then to 21. They did grandfather people in, but each time I was old enough to not need the grandfathering.
Also, in my high school, parents often threw keggers for their kids, figuring it was less dangerous than their kids drinking in some field somewhere.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Louisiana was the last to change the law. I only had about 4 or 5 months where I couldn't* go to bars.
*Should read "Wasn't legal for me to, but I was dating/dated most of the bartenders, so what are you gonna do?
