Ok they are more than likely 18 years old or older.

What was the age to drink when you old farts were 18?

Talk about sour pusses. You probably walked to school 5 miles uphill both ways too.

When I turned 18 the legal drinking age was 18 but changed not too long after.

Yep. In three feet of snow. With no shoes. :-)

I am an old fart and I agree. At 18, you can vote, serve in the military and DIE for your country, and go to jail as an adult.

My dad (who is 82) has a great story. Back when he was young, the drinking age was 16. So he went to his favorite bar one year, one he’d been going to for the past couple years, where he was on a first-name basis with the bartender.

His friends let the guy know he was there to celebrate his b’day so he asked him “How old are ya today, Jim?”

“Sixteen.”
