Would you buy everyone alcohol?

I am about a year older than all my friends. I am almost 21.      I feel like all these people that I know but don't hang out with all the time will as me to buy it for them.

I was the last of my group to turn 21, so I didn't encounter this predicament.

The age to buy here is 18. I'm 20. But i've been buying alcohol since I was 16. Few places here asked for ID in the past, so any one of my friends could buy when they were still minors.

I was one of the last of my friends.  They would buy for me under conditions, and I do the same for my 19 year old brother.
The condition: don't drive; don't start fights; and if you toss your lunch, you're cut off.  

I don't think there's anything wrong with 18+ year olds drinking, as long as they do so responsibly.  My parents let me drink around them starting at 17, and I believe it allowed me to learn how to use alcohol responsibly, so that I wasn't cut loose at college with no prior experience.

I have friends buy alcohol for me, so I can't down you doing it. For your friends. Not people who want to "hang out" for about 5 minutes, go to the store, and then dip. That kind of behavior will get you in trouble. All anyone has to do is get drunk and screw up bad enough and say you bought them the bottle, and it can put you in a world of legal bullshyt. So, as a rule of thumb, I'd say that if you wouldn't trust them with your car, don't trust them with alcohol. But at the same time, if it's people you hang around and by some stupid chance the cops show up and you're the only 21 year-old, that's on you.

I bought alcohol for my friends when I turned 21 before them. For people I didn't know I made them buy me a drink to.

I would do this

tell me again Posted at 5:48 am on May 10, 2009
yeah, why not.

i'd do slightly illegal things for minors. but that 21y/o alcohol rule is just completely mindlessly stupid anyway

TigressaLynnMae Posted at 6:17 pm on April 15, 2009
No.

It's illegal to buy minors alcohol. Sorry.

rockinralfman Posted at 1:54 pm on April 15, 2009

hi sarah Posted at 10:44 am on April 15, 2009
yeah i buy alcohol for my younger friends and when i was younger, older friends bought it for me.  i see no problem
marshmellowman Posted at 10:43 am on April 15, 2009
My friends did before I was 18, and since we're all 18 now it doesn't matter. But I do have some friends who are younger and I'd have no problem buying for them at all.
