What To Do For My 18th?

[DaveK]

I turn 18 on the 13th of Feb, in Ireland turning 18 is the big deal, none of this sweet 16 and 21st crap. 18 is where it's at.

Unfortunately, I don't know what to do, the circumstances are kinda shit.

I'm moving house on the 20th, possibly sooner, so the apartment I'm living in has to stay neat and tidy as it's on the market at the moment so people will be viewing it (with me still in it) so I can't have people over messing stuff up and there isn't much room anyway.

I was thinking of postponing it until the 20th which is the week after IF we can move into the house sooner. But even then, I don't have money for drink (Around €150-200 worth), it's cheaper up in Northern Ireland by about 25-50% but it costs a bit in petrol to drive up there so you don't really save that much.

Another option is going to a nightclub but I can't do that on my 18th as I have to apply for an I.D as I don't have a passport because I can't get one and there would only be a few friends with me.

What do you guys think? I'm off school the week after my b-day so that gives me a chance to hit up a nightclub during the week if I can get an I.D.

Such a pain, to get into clubs you need an age card, passport or drivers licence. The only one I can get is the age card and you need an I.D to apply for that and can't apply before you're 18 :S I'm applying for the I.D needed for the age card tomorrow, hope I get them in time.

get absolutely cunted. Your 18th demands it. You must find a way.

Go skydiving first, then celebrate surviving, then

[DaveK]

I just found out the age card takes 6 to 8 weeks, lazy Garda shites. Not much point in celebrating your 18th 8 weeks after it happened...

I want to.

Go skydiving first, then celebrate surviving, then

I'd actually like to go skydiving but it costs like €500 for 1 drop...

Be different ... Spend the whole day helping needy people in your community.

[DaveK]

I'm hoping to have a party at my house, it will be €200 out of my own pocket though :S

My community is full of polish and black people who are all on free medical care and most likely have jobs. They have enough.

[DanTheBanjoman]

I've been turning 18 for quite some years now. Just get drunk like every weekend.

[DaveK]

Just been calculating prices of drink for my party, it's coming out of my pocket:

40 Bacardi Breezers, 16 cans of Bulmers and 40 bottles of Budweiser. Here it costs €200, in Northern Ireland it costs €108. :mad:

[Black Panther]

Plan #1: invite less people.

Plan #2: invite the teetotallers...

Plan #3: invite people who think that since it's your party you shouldn't be paying for anything.

Plan #4: do as Dan suggested + Whitelotus' suggestion... so apart from getting drunk make sure you also invite a couple of escorts ;)

[DanTheBanjoman]

Bacardi Breezer? Only 40 cans of beer? I just lost respect for the Irish.

Prices here are... 6 crates (24x.33) of beer > ~60 euros. Some wine, I think like 2 people drink that and I still have some stronger stuff around.

[WhiteLotus]

what do you need bacardi breezers for?

Get some beer, cider, and some kind of vodka. Mix all three together. drink.

[Papahyooie]

tell your freeloading friends that its YOUR birthday and THEY should be buying YOU drink, not the other way around!!!

If I'm going up to Northern Ireland I'll buy way more. It's just the cost that's the problem.

Bacardi Breezers are for the girls and EXTREMELY expensive :mad:

I'm paying for the drink because my mam can't afford it, I'll get money off my friends anyway so it will work out fine. I don't mind paying for it, it's just I don't get a lot for my money here, I'll have to take a trip up to Northern Ireland.

10x Bacardi Breezer (4 Bottles Each) - €99.90 (€48.10 - N. Ireland)
2x Bulmers (8 Cans Each) - €35.68 (€25.80 - N. Ireland)
4x Budweiser (10 330ml Bottles Each) - €64.00 (€34.53 - N. Ireland)

Total: €199.58 (€108.43)

If I go up North I can get way more drink, I don't think that will be enough anyway :S

A box of 20 Miller is €20 here so I'll grab 2 of them as well.

[Kreij]

40 bottles of beer?

I'm with Banjo on that one. That wouldn't last an hour here in WI.
We used to have an annual pig roast and would buy about 20 cases of beer.

[WhiteLotus]

and you're going to need some chiller space. Make sure that your fridge shelves can take the weight.

[DanTheBanjoman]

Don't invite 12 year old girls to your party, you'll regret that. Anyone drinking Breezers is 12, no exception.

Beer prices in .nl per supermarket (http://www.goedkoopbier.nl/bieraanbiedingen), that's the page with the things on sale :)

Seems a crate of Grolsch (24x .33) is €8.49 at Dirck III, which is around the corner here. Irish prices are retarded. Yay for me.

[DanTheBanjoman]

It's crap weather remember, the outside is good for beer these days.

[FreedomEclipse]

and you're going to need some chiller space. Make sure that your fridge shelves can take the weight.

yeah - make sure you can fit a dead body or 2 in there just incase the unthinkable happens & you need to temporarily hide the evidence without causing a stink.

[Kreij]

We always just got several coolers (one for beer, one for soda, etc.). That way you don't have to worry about space in the 'fridge. (or chiller as you call it :) )

[DaveK]

Made a change to my list, instead of 4x10 bottles of Bud for €64 I found 4x8 cans for €56, it's cheaper and there's more. Why can't they sell Bacardi in crates? a box of like 24 would be much cheaper than packs of 4 and it's not even 330ml bottles like everything else.

The current numbers are 40 Bacardi (275ml), 16 Bulmers (500ml), 32 Buds (500ml), 40 Miller (330ml).

It's crap weather remember, the outside is good for beer these days.

Yeah, it's usually around 0C at night here so I can just keep the drink outside if there's no room in the fridge.

[Papahyooie]

I'm guessing breezers is like smirnoff ice? The hottest girls always drink those around here. Sure its impressive when a chick can shoot whiskey, but in most cases that comes with a mustache...

[Black Panther]

Well if it isn't weird...

I just googled "make your own bacardi breezer" and the first site on google was forums.overclockers.com.au (http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=537618) wtf? :eek: :confused: Lol check that out.

Anyway, if you just buy a bottle of bacardi (you can use vodka or rum instead), some sparkling water and a couple of jiuce varieties and mix them up, there's your own home-made (and very cheap) bacardi breezer. You'd be making 40-50 of them with a single bottle of spirit!

[DanTheBanjoman]

Same class of crap yes. The women I drink with mostly drink beer, some drink wine. No breezers, I'd smack them in their face if they tried. People would respect my decision to do so. None have facial hair.

Smirnoff Ice, Bacardi Breezer and WKD are all pretty much the same. They cost twice as much as a beer or cider and come in tiny 275ml bottles.

I like to buy the cheapest drink possible as long as it tastes nice. Kopparberg/Bulmers are both €2.20 a can but I found a drink that's €1.50 a can and tastes more or less the same, it also has a higher ABV, it's 6% whereas the other two are 4.5%. Win win.

They're all roughly the same price in a club/bar as far as I know, though.

[Papahyooie]

I can't say i'd ever respect a decision to smack a chick in the face, but to each his own i suppose. Beer's gross anyway.

then you should drink it more. Then you will like it.

[DaveK]

True. When I first started drinking a few years ago I didn't like beer, I prefer cider though but will drink beer if I have to.

[Papahyooie]

i'll drink straight vodka before beer. Beer taste like I would think cat piss tastes.

[DaveK]

Not all beers taste the same, I'm very picky with what I drink and eventually found one I like, well two, Miller and Budweiser. If I don't like it I pretty much just force it down.

Dutch Gold is one of the cheapest beers available in Ireland that isn't from Lidl/Aldi and it's piss in a can, it's something every guy drinks when they start drinking. Standing outside an off-licence asking everyone to buy you drink, getting Dutch Gold then hanging outside a youth center or in a field. Ah the good old days of knacker drinking. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I hated Dutch Gold and started drinking Miller and got used to it. You have to drink it for awhile to get used to it.

[DanTheBanjoman]

Which Budweiser? American or Czech?

i dont have a mustache lol most girls i know around here dont either and they are straight liquor girls

i agree

[WhiteLotus]

i agree

then you are wrong. Some beers are fantastic.

[Kurosagi]

Well since you said you don't have any form of I.D do you go to college or something? do you get some form of I.D card to confirm you are a student to it with your date of birth on it??

[Papahyooie]

i dont have a mustache lol most girls i know around here dont either and they are straight liquor girls


You, MM, are obviously not an average female. :p
And I'm not saying hot girls who drink beer and can drink straight liquor dont exist, I even know a few, but here they just arent the norm.

The awesome female who calls other peoples girlfriends ugly in other threads :p

(jk, i really couldn't care less)

Seriously tho, if youre on a tech forum, you're ok in my book. Most females I know call an entire computer tower a "hard drive" (slap)

theres many guys that call a pc a cpu lol

[Papahyooie]

In all fairness, that's what they used to be called. Even my high school computer class's book had both the tower and the cpu itself as the definitions. (granted, that book was from the 80's lol)

[big kumara]

Hawaiian Punch + 7-Up + Everclear + chopped fruit X wash tub = lotsa drunk people.

Thats what we always did for Hobo Days. The cops would make you pour out any drinks, but they never bothered with the well-marinated fruit---so we just took the fruit in baggies to watch the parade and bed races and such.

And is unattractive and fat herself, I got this from a reliable source.

im fat in my opinion not to others most told me to shut up that im not fat its called self conscious also me being unattractive is on my bad hair days and bad face days

[DanTheBanjoman]

my bad hair days and bad face days

I sometimes have small penis days, I usually don't tell people I'm having one though.

[WhiteLotus]

I sometimes have small penis days

And there is a direct correlation of small penis days and the temperature, so small penis days can be excused.

[Black Panther]

because you're not self-confident enough to share.... (nutlick)

Edit, wait a sec I think such sharing won't be appreciated! ;)

Edit (2)... there you did it now, I'm at work and can barely remove the smile from my face because of your penost.... :eek:
(slap)

[DaveK]

Just got word that I'll be having my party in a pub, WOOT :D

The benefits of this are I can invite waaaay more people and I don't have to worry about buying drink for a party. I find parties in pubs to be more fun anyway though they're expensive (€40-50 a night) compared to a party at a house which is free but people will be buying my drink for me :D

[Black Panther]

That's just great DaveK!
€40-50 for one night isn't expensive at all compared to the nearly €200 you would have to fork up were you to pay for the drinks.

Let us know how it goes, share pics or it didn't happen! :D

[Papahyooie]

Sweet! Hope you have fun!

Oh and every day is small penis day for me.

[Polaris573]

Mixed drinks are cheaper. Rum and coke is much more efficient for lubricating groups of people than bacardi breezers (which taste gross anyway). You can make margaritas on the cheap. Vodka, plus club soda, plus grenadine is cheap and effective too.

Aye, just make a cooler full of pink panty dropper (google it) and you're good. Maybe 50 bucks out, and 50 people can drink on it all night.

fuck that, come to America, you know i can throw a party for about 50 people for 100 bucks (toast)

come to America get laid by american girls:D, and then return to socalist euirope:rolleyes:, knowing you got to expierance the best of america(nutlick)



oh shit:eek: i forgot here its 21, but thats ok you can get alcohol just about anywhere, everyone here starts drinking about 16-17, so were ahead of the euros, and you can do it legally.

chill in the cities non tourist bars and your never id'ed.

[DanTheBanjoman]

That's just wrong Pepsi, drinking at 16-17, at least the European youth does not have an alcohol problem. Not here, not in Germany, not even those pregnant British preteens drink.

[Papahyooie]

alcohol problem.

See but it's not a problem until you go to rehab.

[DanTheBanjoman]

Wait what?

you only start at 16?

Poor poor you.

[pepsi71ocean]

most do, because they can't wait till they are 21.

actually most of the crew we used to go up to Canada when we were 17-18ish and spend a week or so at a clip up there.

I think we would get rid of the drinking issues if we lowered the drinking age back to 18. because the auroa of doing something illegal is gone.

Hell once i turned 21 i frankly haven't touched a beer yet alone any kind of mixed drink and thats been a while.

[DaveK]

Most people I know started drinking at like 12-13. There's no drinking age in the privacy of your home anyway. I can throw the biggest party ever and the police can't do anything about the underage drinking because it's actually legal in a house and they have as much power as a neighbor for complaints about music.

I don't see the point in drinking laws anyway, people get away with it. If you can't catch anyone, why enforce it? Same with weed, weed is SO easy to get here, so many people I know smoke it like it's cigarettes.

I'm 17 and am never even asked for I.D at pubs, the only time I was asked for I.D was at the entrance to a club, I wasn't asked at the bars in there. That's a good thing though, I agree with checking I.D at clubs, last thing you want is a bunch of kids at your club and getting raided by the police, lol Redz.

[Papahyooie]

Even here in the US nobody really cares about underage drinking, its just that someone who is younger is more likely to be irresponsible about it and go drive or do something stupid while drinking. Thats the only reason I can see for drinking age laws, and most people (exept health nuts who wouldnt drink at any age) agree.

[pepsi71ocean]

Wait what?

you only start at 16?

Poor poor you.

Actually i started at 17 when my High school sweetheart and i split up, i just couldn't hack it, i was an emotional wreck, and took to alcohol, heavy metal, and working 120 hours a week as my medication, being drunk was normal, or at least slightly buzzed, it got rids of the thoughts of suicide.

while i am not proud of what i did i will say that i did streighten my self out, and now im a normal human again.
