Saw this discussed on TV, thought it was a good conversation piece.

What did people do on their 21st birthday?

Or what do you plan to do?

Fell on a weekday. Had a quiet evening with my parents, ordered some ribs and enjoyed them at home.

On the weekend, enjoyed a drink at the local pub with my friends.

I don't remember what I did on my 21st.  It wasn't as much of a milestone when I was growing up so I don't think I did anything special.

I do remember my 18th - which was the milestone back then (because you could legally drink at that age).  I, however, was seriously ill and couldn't have anything to drink.  So, it was a quiet one.

And I remember my 40th, in particular as well,  because I had that one on Bora Bora.  There was a storm that night and the wind blew the roof off our over the water bungalow.  That was probably my most memorable birthday.

No excuse, Mac! You're lucky I didn't know ya! You would've been hurting for a couple days!

Being sick, that sucks.

I had been drinking for years with various fake ID's, so it wasn't that huge. But on the day I turned 21 at midnight, I went to a bar I had been to many times. We had to get there early, because the Boston Celtics were on TV, playoffs vs Detroit, and back then you needed a big satellite to see them on TV. There were only two places with a dish.

Right before tipoff, for the first time in my life, I got kicked out of a bar for not being old enough. And only needed a few hours!

We went to another place, got in and saw the game. It turned out to be a famous game, the one where Bird stole the ball with a second to go, fed it to DJ, and they won. A couple hours later I turned 21.

Next day, the real celebration! We bought about a hundred dollars at the liquor store(for some reason, they didn't card me, which sucked!), then after we polished that we hit the bars.

After 21, birthdays are no big deal.

Your 21st is not a big deal in Sweden, so I can't remember what I did. I was pregnant though, I know that.  In Sweden your 18th is big because that's when you can drive and drink. Not together of course. 25th is a pretty big one since it's a 1/4 century. I think we moved in to our new house then. After that it's sort of every decade. 30, 40... I don't celebrate my birthday at all. Not because I don't want to get older, but because it brings bad memories.

When my son turned 21 he went and bought a gallon of Smirnoff then he gave it to us because he didn't drink. We don't drink hard liquor so we drained it down the toilet....yeah...

Definitely not true.  

40 is big.  50 is bigger and probably the most difficult milestone.  60 is bigger yet but much more fun than 50.

Most people I know wouldn't have a clue what they were doing on their 21st - but they would all know what they did for their 50th or what they are planning on doing.

I went and saw "The A-Team" (disappointed), had a strawberry shake and went to sleep.

The night of my 21st birthday I spent at a restaurant with friends and family. They all made a big deal of me ordering a drink and it felt weird having everyone watch me order a drink, so I metaphorically said "fuck it" and ordered a coke.

I had already been drinking publicly with friends and I'm from Brazil where the drinking age is 18, so it didn't matter too much to me.

I was in Cannes a year later though and I had a night to end all nights there.

Now I'm just looking forward to my 25th this May so I can get a discount on my car insurance.


'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.

I went and saw Ratt at the Cleveland Agora with my buddies, got shitfaced, and did a bunch of solos.

Back in that day, we were legally allowed to drink 3.2 beer at 17 and anything at 18, so I had been partying in bars, drinking, and raising a some Hell for quite awhile.  My Junior year at college had just come to an end.

Thanks, Kev for starting this poll.  Now I'm even more depressed with my current life when I remember how much I used to fucking ROCK!!!!

Jeff, I thought you were going to say you stayed home to watch the Ed Sullivan show.!  

Man, no wonder everyone here is smarter than me: NERDS!!

Just kidding. I guess I was a drinking nerd. No drinking anymore. Those days are over. Maybe if I ever sell a script! Then I'll throw an SS party, open bar.

An open bar party for a bunch of writers? Sounds like a sure way to blow your entire commission.

Not this group! Lightweights. Except for Jeff and Michael. I'm betting Stevie can hold his own, but that could be an Aussie stereotype!

You'd lose your shirt, cuz old hot pants Stevie don't drink.

If we get James and Led in, we're talking heavyweight action.

Not a stereotype - way of life.
