Tomorrow I will have been alive for 21 years in a row! I'm working tomorrow and Friday, so what kind of suggestions do you guys have for this weekend to make it a worthwhile 21st?

firstly, happy birthday.

go hang out with some friends. if you're into it, go have your first legal drink*
i think regardless of what you do, if you have good company it will be memorable.


*drink responsibly

1. Go to the liquor store
2. Buy alcohol for all your friends that are under 21
3. Go back to your place and enjoy said alcohol with friends

or

1. Go to bar/club
2. Drink heavily
3. Go home with some hot girl

Yeah, I was born in 1981. I would have been 21 by now, but I died a couple times, for a year or two, so technically I'm still 20.

I turned 21 on vacation in Vegas, then I decided to move here.....I would advise against that.

Just have fun and drink until you can't feel feelings. End the night with a lady or two.

lol why would you advise against moving here? I love this city! You should vacation here, check out the strip & the new Wynn hotel.

Yes I would say drink and drive. Just as long as you don't drive while you're drunk! (You DO want to see 22, right? )

Have fun... I know I will when I turn 21.

Well, 21 years ago today I came into this world in the morgue of a hospital in Studio City. Happened to be an emergency procedure, and that was the quickest clean room to get to.
At work now, but looks like this weekend I'm going out with a bunch of friends, and yes, my car is staying home.

In this case this may qualify as two. Just don't get too drunk this may happen

go to a bar with some friends, have your friends tell everyone you are just turned 21 - drink free all night

I would enjoy a nice guinness at the best Irish pub around. After two, go home and tell us what it was like.

21 is nothing special. There is no point in poisoning yourself with alcohol.

All because you can does not mean you should.
Genius. You know who.

In Germany we call someone like you "Spassbremse"! (<- that's not really offensive - just )

Well I'm certainly not a Spassbremse, have a friend who knows a lot of the waitresses at a Chili’s near me so he wants to go there, got two votes for Guinness on here. Not too up on what the bar/club scene in my city is like, considering that I never really had a reason to know about it, but I intend to find out
Any suggestions on some good drinks?

Happy 21st B-Day dracoleb. I hope that it will be a good day with family and friends. Any special plans? Now you are officially an adult. Hope that you will be responsible with this new freedom.
