I just turned 24 last week and celebrated without alcohol or drugs. It was actually pretty nice. I think back to the years before and how drunk and stupid i was. Last year, I went to the bars the night before my bday and blacked out way before the night was over. I woke up the next morning still pretty drunk and went to have breakfast with bottomless momosas (champagne and OJ), and by early afternoon i was pasted out at a friends house. My girlfriend spent all day making me dinner for my Bday, and then had to drag me off the bed once she found out where i was.

On my 20th birthday i thought it would be a good idea to see if i could drink a 30 pack in one night. I was living in dorms at the time and it was a school night. My roomate didnt want to drink with my so i just drank by myself. With a couple beers left, my girlfriend (same girl) came over and saw how drunk i was and forced me to go to her dorm room and stop drinking. The next morning she told me that i got up to go to the bathroom while i was naked, and instead of walking back to her room, i walked into the wrong room and got into bed. When she heard a girl scream, she ran over and took my back to her room.

It felt pretty good this year not to make an ass out of myself or hurt the feelings of my girlfriend and others who are close. I didnt realize until i quit drinking that all these times that i called "fun" were actually very harmful and dangerous times that pissed people off, hurt their feelings, and made myself look bad. Its a lot more fun to remember a birthday and not just know the story that somebody else told you.

Haha I thought your story was pretty funny, but you're right about not drinking anymore.  I plan on staying sober on my 21st birthday.  I stopped drinking a while ago and it's interesting to see how other people still continue to drink even though they don't even seem to like it. 

lol your story is funny you gotta admit that. If it happened to someone else you'd laugh =P
I quit drinking when I was seventeen. It took getting caught by the police to stop me and I've vowed to never drink again, Its been over a year and although I've had so many chances I Haven't taken any and I know I wont ever drink again. I'm proud of myself although many of my friends think I'm pretty dumb for it.

I know exactly how you feel I quit drinking too. But I think its better, when I'm out with my friends and they're all drinking and doing crazy things and stuff its fun, but when it comes time to go home, they're trippin like crazy over getting pulled over or if their parents are going to smell it on them. Its so relaxing that I dont have to worry about all that. If I get pulled over, I'm sober and fine, and my parents cant find anything on me either because I'm sober and clean. I'm more trustworthy. Also some of my friends end up doing ridiculous things that they normally wouldn't do when they're drunk. Like one started stripping and getting into a pool, and everyone was talking so much crap about her. She would've never done this if she was sober. I'm glad I dont have to be in those positions also.
