I’m forgetting exactly what age it was that going to bars became the regular thing to do. It’s like all adults do is consume alcohol for every possible celebration, like getting inebriated qualifies as “fun” in every single case.
It took me a while to get used to the taste of beer. It took me even longer to start going to trivia nights and happy hours. I guess I hung on to my childhood for a bit too long.
But I don’t regret it. Like I’ve said before, “21+” comes with a big plus, and I wrung every last drop of my youth before it was time to join the big kids and have a few.
Still, though. Remember when “fun” was watching movies, eating burgers and making out? Those memories are fading. And quickly.
