19:05 - Email - So, I'm 19 and from Scotland. I have been actively going out drinking, fraternizing in the clubs for about a year and a half now. I'm coming to America for a few weeks, months, in September and I'm not going to be allowed to legally drink. What the fuck do I do? I go out about three to four times a week at the moment and I can't imagine the horror of not being allowed to drink.
