That's why I still think its silly to have such a high drinking age in the US - I learned this stuff as a teenager (in Germany beer/wine as of 16, hard liquer as of 18 years old) when you are more irresponsible anyway and by the time I e.g. got my drivers license and went to university the novelty had worn off already.

Thats true, Uganda has a legal drinking age of 18 but if you have money to buy it u can get it. But I am with you, I started at 16 by the time I got to college getting shit faced drunk was not my priority any more. It was more about getting a really good buzz, maintaining it and not throwing up all over the place. But then again I grew up in a different drinking environment.
