I started young as well....I worked in a Californian winery at 13....

was quite the drunken teen and now don't go out too much

The age limit is 18 to buy a drink, 14 to have a glass of wine with a meal in a resteraunt.

Just because people drink at my age, doesn't mean were bad people. We just want the same fun that over 18's get.

Whats the difference between a drunk and an alcoholic?

Alcoholics have to go to meetings.

Vodka makes me a mean drunk.
Tequila makes my clothes fall off and fat chicks become attractive.
Gin is just nasty.
Everclear burns.
Whiskey costs too much
Rum, now we're talking. I loves me some west indies rum.

Yes, i'm a seasoned lush.

The unit system is designed around that, for an average man, one unit takes one hour to be flushed through your body (plus 15mins from the first drink).

It doesn't stop different drinks effecting you differently.

Just remember though, 1 unit is different depending on what type of booze it is. 40% liquor is 1 ounce, 5% beer is 12 ounces and wine is i think a 6 ounce serving, maybe 8.

Oo... okay.
