I drank once when I was 20, and actually started drinking when I was 21 like a good boy. To drink because it tastes good or to get drunk....you can have both of these. The secret to this is not drinking beer. Everyone I have ever talked to said that they like beer because they got used to it. And there is just too much liquor in the world for me to waste my time getting used to beer when I am perfectly happy with a margarita.
