I'm drinking shitty beer.

Smiral said Yup, totally counts because that's half the reason I have access to alcohol now.

Thank the lord for cool older siblings

Ha, suck it, Sole!

I was never the 'cool' one, out of the three of us I was the bookworm, the middle sister was the tatted up skinhead chick and the youngest was the pot smoking guitar playing hippy.

E: Of course I'm also the only one with a college degree and a healthy relationship with their SO.

[Smiral]

Well the hippie could've made it just fine, the skinhead, however...

[idlehands]

She's not that kind of skinhead, her and her group are trads not WP or anything, hell half of them are Mexican. She's done alright, she's got two kids by the same dude who stuck around, which in that scene makes her fucking Betty Crocker. My little hippy sister though, needs to get her GED and get into community college damnit, can't smoke weed and wait tables all her life. Makes me sad because she's a pretty talented musician and artist but dat sticky icky. I'm not saying people can't function on weed, I know plenty of people that do, but she's not one of them.

Kangaroo said they slug us about $45 for a bottle of Captain Morgans, which is like 23-25 GBP.

Oh god that's horrible.

My parents are willing to buy me alcohol if I'm honest about what I'm doing, and a huge majority of my friends are over eighteen. Also I look like I'm 25.

Welcome to AUstralia.

What's worse is that in a pub a pint is around $10. Makes every night bloody expensive.

Considering how much Aussies are known to drink, how can you afford to put another shrimp on the barbie?

Well we do have relatively high wages but even then it gets expensive. Mainly through drinking a crapload before we go out and just buying drinks to top up.
