My birthday is on 5th July and when you look at it and say wow im gonna be 15 next year, i feel really old! i wanna stay young and immature for the rest of my life.
Life is like a hot bubble bath, nice at first, but the longer you stay in, the wrinklier you get.
If I go, I'm gonna make sure people remember me!

You can drink in private at any age, and 16 still only allows you drink with a meal when out.

*old persons sigh*
I long for the days when I was too young to drink - it was so much more exciting then, and a few beers was enough to have a great time. Now I can order beer all the time, it's lost some of it's specialness.

Here anyone can drink from any age (as long as it's not in the street), and smoke no matter what age you are. Of course there are a few places that don't serve alcohol to people under 18 but not that many. As for stores... you can buy anytime cigarets or beer or wine...or anything you want. But even if you can, I'm not saying it's legal. Just that they don't really punish you for this kind of stuff. Just seldom. Maybe parents punish there children.

It's not really a good thing. I've heard of 10 year old smoking...But on the other hand I smoke... and I'm only 17 (18 in october :grin:). I should really quit... :(
