So because you were irresponsible, that means my friends and I should
be kept out? I think it means *you* should be kept out, not me. I've
never been drunk in my life. I never had a "teenage ego." Instead I
worked hard, got ahead but then couldn't hang out with the people I
met.

BTW, to make it clear I just turned 21 but I still resist going places
other people aren't allowed in to.

Also, I don't know where you got the stat that most DWI's in College
Park are under 21...I hung out with cops for three hours at a sobriety
checkpoint and didn't see one under21 arrested for drunk driving.

BTW, did you know that the most dangerous drinkers are those 21-24?
