Turning 21? Don't be a Jackass...

My 21st birthday was a bit of a blur, and according to two new surveys there's a pretty good chance that yours was too.

According to the surveys, the average guy has 12 drinks on his 21st birthday and ONE in THREE have 21 or more drinks. I don't believe that I have ever in my life had 21 drinks in one sitting. Isn't this alcohol poisoning? The number of drinks for women are also quite high. The average lady has NINE drinks on her 21st birthday, while nearly ONE in FOUR have 21 or more drinks.

Just so you know, Mars can have 2 drinks and she's a little loopy. If she were to have nine, let alone 21, she would definitely be hurting the next day.

Overall, 54% of people say they had a hangover (which actually seems a little low to me)and 44% said they experienced a blackout.

39% say they have no idea how they got home. 22% got into a fight and another 22% say they found out later they had sloppy, drunken sex.

So lesson of the day, whether it's your birthday or not, don't drink and drive, and don't over-indulge, you'll end up looking like a jackass.

Now off to pick up a bottle of wine for Mars!
