Today, I turned 18. My parents gave me a card that read "now that you're 18, it's time for some boozy fun... you can do all the things you did before but legally!" Taped to the inside was my fake id that I "lost" three months ago. FML

Today, I turned 17. My parents completely forgot it was my birthday, and when I reminded them, my dad thought it was my 18th. He was ecstatic and mentioned that I can "finally get the hell out." FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday and my dad has decided to take away my ID in fear that if I have even one drink to celebrate I'll become a raging alcoholic. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday. My parents' gift was a case of non-alcoholic beer, to "prepare" me for when I "turn 21." My parents can't even remember how old I am. FML

Today, I turned 21 and had a huge party because I could finally drink legally. Got arrested for public intoxication. FML

Today, my parents gave me a sock and card for my eighteenth birthday. The card said, "Now that Dobby is free, get out." FML

Today, I got my fake ID and went out with the boys to dinner and the bars. One of my friends asked to see my ID. He noticed my birthday didn't make me over 21. I paid $170 for a fake ID with my real birthday. FML

Today, I went to a bar to celebrate my 26th birthday. I got ripped off by the bartender all night because she secretly gave me non-alcoholic versions of my drinks. Apparently I look like I'm 16, so she thought my ID was fake. Happy birthday to me. FML

Today, I went to buy some beer using my fake ID, when the cute cashier and I started flirting. When he asked me how old I was, I said without thinking, "Nineteen." FML

Today, I celebrated my 18th birthday. Alone. My only birthday wish came from the police officer who gave me a ticket. FML

Today, I got a change of ID. My old ID had its corner cut off and was given a temporary paper ID. I went to a bar in another town to have some drinks. Turns out I couldn't because they couldn't use my old ID or my temporary one to let me drink, even though I'm 22. I've been there before and I work at my town's liquor store. FML

I never understood why people couldn't just wait until 18 to drink/smoke/etc. It's not exactly like waiting until you're 65 to retire. =/

I bet you're one of those bitchy, whiny, "I want everything" people. I see people like you all the time in my line of work. You're not actually as sneaky as you think you are. And having a fake ID is a felony, retard. Maybe if you weren't so spoiled, you could have waited until you were legal. Besides, count your damn blessings. The drinking age in the USA is 21.

So, when I was reading this I just thought your parents were giving you the fake ID back as a "legal" way to drink when it's actually illegal, cuz it is in America.

Only losers need fake ID. If smoking and drinking mean that much to you, than your life needs a looking into

I honestly didn't start drinking til I was 19, when I was legal (from Newfoundland). I tasted beer at 16 and hated it (still do). And I was a loser in highschool... so... yeah lol. I'm 24 now. And I'm in Alberta, and I know the legal age here is 18. And it took a LONG time to get used to 18 year olds getting into bars. "Omg they checked everyone's ID at the front! How'd you get in?" lol. Duh.
