Well, I'm 16.

This basically means, as far as I can tell, that I have legal permission to go screw my life up in various ways.

I can go get pregnant, buy cigarettes and start smoking, waste all my money on the lottery, get drunk out as long as I have a meal with the alcohol, and also apparently crash horribly on a moped-thing with a top speed of 30mph.

Unsurprisingly, I plan to do none of the above in the near future, most of them I plan never to do (well, all of them atm I plan never to do).

And I'm feeling nasty and icky and ill. Grr.

As far as I'm aware (though it may have changed) you could drink with a meal out for the last two years. (And there's nothing at all wrong with a glass of wine with dinner (or a beer or whatever) - the problems only arise when you have several. (Says she who still drinks like there's no tomorrow ;) ) ... from when I was 16 I was allowed a glass of wine with dinner at home, and I still think that the taste often complements the meal in a way that grape juice (unfermented - what I used to drink with dinner instead of wine) never did. I no longer drink wine with every evening meal - J's parents didn't do that, so he feels it's for special meals, so we compromise and have it at most weekends as well as when we go out to restuarants.)

And the other things I should've said in that entry:

Happy Birthday!

Hope you're feeling better :/

WOW! You only have to be 16 to do all that stuff?! I'm moving to the UK!

...err... I mean... Happy birthday! ...yeah... that's what I meant...

And feel better. OR ELSE. Although I'm not sure what the 'else' would be yet.

Actualyl you can't ...

Legally get drunk on alcohol you buy at 16.

That would be one (alcoholic) drink with a meal Chess, you can't get druink doing that unless you can amange to throw up only the meal in the toilet or unless you buy and awful lot of meals at different places, then don't eat them and only drink the drink.
