Sorry I mentioned it. [sigh]
Any enthusiast-or-above regular posting board member who travels to my neighborhood is assured of a drink bought by your truly.
Have to have a cut-off or I'd be over the hill to the Poor House.
wow

Even if we're under 21?

Water is a drink.
Over 21-year-olds may put single malt in it or whatever else takes their fancy.
As to fruit : in the words of the great Tallulah Bankhead, when observed having an Old Fashioned for breakfast, "Dahhhling ...all that fruit! It's so good for you."
However, I draw the line at little umbrellas.
wow

I had a lady friend once who had the irritating habit of collecting those damned things. It was irritating mainly because they usually only come in very expensive cocktails ... and in those days going Dutch was not the usual thing.

>Even if we're under 21?

Cultural aside here:

I find it really strange that it is not possible to buy alcohol under the age of 21 in the USA (I thought it was only California but now I am told that it is everywhere.) Does this mean that if you are under 21 and had your wedding reception in a bar open to the public (less usual these days but not all that rare) then you would not be able drink at your own wedding? By that age you would have been allowed to vote, carry a gun, go to prison, drive a car, have a baby?

Does this mean that is possible to go through university without an alcoholic drink? To me, this is inconceivable. (I include Budweiser here as I am told that it does contain alcohol.) How on earth to people manage not to break the law?

Not breaking the law is not an option...(for those who wish)

I don't believe I have ever been to a public wedding (I've performed at quite a lot), however, "the spirit of the law" is generally followed by the "authorities" (or you would have a mob action)

You forgot the most impotent "go to war" (so your alcoholic half-uncle can beat his wife in peace... (did I say that?(waking up confused emoticon)))
