How would you describe your transition from drinking in high school, to drinking legal age?

I found that back in high school, I drank beer in mass quantities to mask the taste of the beer. So I drank until it began to go down like water. Nowadays, I actually enjoy beer, I go to bars and get the local brews. It seems that getting drunk is more of a social thing to do at bars, clubs, etc, but back then it was more fun on an individual basis. You drank, were laughing at dumb stuff, doing dumb stuff, and then went on drunken adventures.

    Drinking isn't that fun anymore. Most of the friends I partied with in high school have a family of their own now. Either that or they just don't keep in touch anymore. I mean I still see some of them at parties here and there, but nothing like how it was in high school when they would be at almost every party I went to. I guess everybody has to grow up, sadly.

    I didn't drink in high school. Now I'll occasionally drink at social occasions when its free, but I don't really like the taste of alcohol yet so I'll usually just slowly sip one glass over the course of the whole evening and generally something like gin and juice that has something non-alcoholic tasting to counteract the taste of the alcohol

    It was illegal back then. now the art of drinking takes on. Try making your own brew its awesome. the taste is even better and you made it. takes awhile to make so you even appreciate it more. but taste much better as long as you know the taste of the beer you like. ow I lived the binge, lived the after binge, now living the brew. MMM enjoyment.
