OK so I do not drink like my whole life I have had like 4oz of beer as I am underage for one. However, my 20th birthday is next month and you must be 21 to drink legally and the closer I get to my 21st the WORSE I want to drink. I go to a VERY strict and traditional Christian college and am not to drink at ALL legal or not. I plan to breach that contract frankly just a little bit when I am of age, but it seems that I am wanting it now and the closer my 21st gets the worse it gets.

Hey! I am so sorry that it took so long for you to get a reply!

Anyway, you can breach that 'contract'. Once you are 21 years of age, you are allowed to do what you want. It is your life. I know the Christian college won't allow you to drink on campus, however, I'm sure there are bars and other places you can go to once you've turn of legal age. Remember, you've never really drank, so it will be likely that you'll get very drunk, very quickly, as your alcohol tolerance isn't anywhere near great! Take things slowly, and have a few drinks here and there when you are home and with friends.
