It seems like kids can't wait to turn 21 to be able to drink and party. Did you celebrate by getting drunk was it worth getting it for those who did? I don't even remember my 21 birthday, what about you? If you haven't turned 21 what are your plans and are you excited?

I hope you wont have to call. Happy Birthday to Brandon. It must be nice to save the world on your birthday. I'm sure it will be one to remember. We all thank him and wish him a safe return home.

When i turned 21 my friends had a party for me at the Moose Lodge, we had strawberry daqaris but i did not over do it and get drunk ( spending the night hunched over the toilet is not my idea of a good time) My friends also went together and bought me a saxaphone, so i was messing with it all night too, we played pool and basically just had a good old time.

good to know you didn't over do it. Do you still play the saxaphone? You must have some pretty cool friends to do that for you.

21 wasn't really a big birthday for me, as 19 is the legal age in Canada for drinking, gambling, etc. On my 19th birthday I didn't do anything crazy, went out an had a drink or two..that was it.

I spent my 21st with family and friends. There was drinking... but I never had a lot. I had the party at my Uncles house and the party was in the garage. Most of my family watched the Rugby game on TV. Then two of my great uncles played their guitars and sang songs, and then we played music. I stayed sober and ended up looking after a young family member who was sneaking drinks and had a bit too many. And I was sober for my speech.
