| I could cite my concerns about neurological development.  But I won't.  I'd rather not see the government determining what is an appropriate drinking age.
 My first "drink" was about 8 months after I turned 21.  I went to a bar with a couple of friends from a theatre group.  They offered to buy me a drink.  I didn't know the first thing about ordering drinks.  So they ordered me something citrus-y.  It was yummy.  They mentioned to the bartender that I was the DD for the night.  She didn't check my ID.  I assume the drink was a virgin.  It had absolutely no effect on me.  But it was tasty.
 
 The next "drink" was on October that year.  A friend made pumpkin beer.  I took a sip.  It was odd.
 
 These stories are by no means interesting.  I'm sure other people have more exciting stories to tell.
