Becoming legal in a country where the drinking age is definitely before 21

Super long title folks but I was trying to be funny and failed. Oh well. As you may have surmised I turned 21 last weekend and in honor of this momentous occasion my friends and I traveled to the land of pubs (read Dublin) to celebrate in style. So although I'd been in Europe for three months now, I have my first official "legal" drink by U.S. standards at the Guinness factory among my still underaged (by American standards) amigos.

But I'm jumping the gun...first I should explain how we got there. Several months ago it was decided we would all meet up in Dublin... okay not much explaining needed to happened. Basically my friends are awesome and we went to Dublin to freeze our butts off on a walking tour, followed by Guinness (which is disgusting) followed by dinner at an authentic Irish Pub...Irelend's full of them (another attempt at a joke...please laugh) and dancing. Basically it was a very memorable day and I'm very grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate with me. No more typing... visual aids will now be provided... enjoy!
